I have 2 graphics cards in an Opti 7010 with Win 7 64 bit. I am currently running 3 monitors successfully, but I lock the computer (windows key + L) when I leave my desk. It seems every other time when I try to log back on (ctrl+alt+delete) one of the monitors (the one I need to see to log on) does not wake up. To get it to wake up, I must reach around to the back of the pc and unplug the monitor, wait a min, then plug it back in. Then everything works fine. Any ideas?

Try Control Panel > Power Options > Click 'Change Plan Settings' next to your currently selected Power Plan > Click 'Change Advanced Power Settings' > Click the '+' symbol next to 'PCI Express' > Click the '+' Symbol next to 'Link State Power Management' > Change the 'Setting' value to 'Off'.

if the above is a no go -

Try setting your other monitor to primary and see what the result is. (so the other monitor that is what you log on with)
