After moving my computer recently my dual monitor setup started moving all windows and my task bar to my primary monitor whenever my computer goes to sleep/shuts down/my monitors turn off after inactivity.
I just discovered that when my displays turn off my computer makes the sound as if something is being disconnected, then about a second later the connection sound is made. This leads me to believe my secondary monitor is being disconnected for about a second whenever my displays turn off which would cause the symptom I am having.
The primary monitor is connected via a Dual link DVI-D cable, while the secondary is connected via a single link DVI-D cable. If anyone knows how I can prevent my secondary monitor for temporarily disconnecting whenever its display is turned off it would be very appreciated. This minor inconvenience is getting extremely frustrating to deal with multiple times a day.
Edit: Both monitors are running in native resolution, 1920x1080 on the primary and 1680x1050 on the secondary. My GPU in a GTX 970 and the drivers are up to date.
