Dual monitors BenqXT2411 (main display) and BenqGL2460

So, I have these 2 issues, that has been bugging me, for a while.

1. Durring windows boot main display is not found, goes black, while before booting windows shows all the BIOS logs. Second monitor is found alright. I have a temporary solution for this: unplug DVI cable and plug it back, and main display monitor is detected. This started when I had to remove my video card from the socket to clean the dust. It followed with glitches refusing it to get detected, after 30m or so trying different things, it ended up as described.

2. Issue nr2 that is really annoying and the reason Im here. Long time ago one of the games I play asked for some updates, so I did. At first it was small glitches so I didnt bear much mind to it. But now it escalated, causing different kind of problems.
The issue looks like this:
When watching movie/anime on MPC, it starts alright, but after some time I notice some video glitches, some missing subtitles. If I go fullscreen when it starts, and at the same time doing something on second monitor (full screen movie inactive window), the picture in the video is not refreshing. If it is not fullscreen, the longer it plays, the worse it gets, glitching video window - need to hit refresh to fix it.
On VLC it completely crashes the player.
Durring Alt-tab jumping between the windows sometimes crashes it. Clicking on inactive window sometimes crashes it.
Launching a game sometimes makes my mouse invisible. Closing the client launching again, fixes it.

Help pls.

Hello,

First problem : If i got it right you mean one screen is off while the second displays Booting Process (MB Logo>Win Logo>..)and then goes to desktop with the 2 monitors ready,if this is the scenario then this is normal.

Second problem : Reinstall the Driver with perform clean installation checked.
Does this happen with certain content or with any content you watch.

First problem looks like this when I press power button

1st monitor shows mobo and bios logs. Then it proceeds to windows logo. When actual windows start (I hear it by a windows sounds), second monitor turns on, showing second screen, while first monitor shows "No DVI input found". And as I told, I temporary fix the issue by unplugging cable from GPU for 2s and plugging it back.
Also forgot to mention, because of this issue, that main monitor is not detected upon Windows launch, on resolution window it shows my second monitor as nr.1, while main monitor as nr.2

Second problem: I think its most of content related to video. Games, movies. It doesnt start right away, after about 8 minutes movie will start to glitch, leaving some traces on desktop which dont go away by clicking refresh button. They go away if you open a window on top of it. Could you give me a guide on clean installation, cause I tried regular uninstall and install, didnt help.

Hello,

Lets Reinstall the driver and see if this fixes your issues.

First Download Guru3d Driver uninstaller.
Go to safe mode and uninstall the driver there using the tool you downloaded.
Restart and go to desktop normally and Install the driver and check (perform clean installation)

Check if the problem persisted.

Regards

Fixed second problem with clean installation, in safe mode removed all trace of "nvidia". It even increased my PC performance. First problem still not fixed.
