Hello and thanks for the assistance ~_~
So I have an odd problem hopefully someone here can shed some light on it as I have no clue how to fix it at this point. I have a Westinghouse 32" monitor connected via HDMI cable to my m17x R3 laptop. Recently I bought an SSD and installed a new windows OS on it and formatted my old system. Upon installation when I connect my 32' my system reads the TV as 2 monitors instead of one.
The ONLY solution I've had recently was going into device manager and disabling NVidia then re-enabling it which caused the 3rd mystery monitor to disappear and performance to go back to normal.
What's more odd is that when I restart my system there are 1 of 3 random possible outcomes:
1) 20% of the time problem is fixed and there is no second monitor.
2) 20% of the time windows Aero is disabled and I have 3 monitors.
3) 60% of the time windows Aero is working and I have 3 monitors.
Recently I've tried multiple fixes based on just random theories:
1) Bought a new HDMI cable - didn't fix.
2) Marked SSD as active partition and completely removed first OS and everything in it - didn't fix.
3) Updated Intel and Nvidia drivers and tried other version - didn't fix.
4) Copied my old systems drivers to my new system as the old system never had this problem - didn't fix.
5) Updated BIOS - didn't fix.
Below are SS's of what I am seeing. The main problem I am having is that this problem is causing major performance issues with my system. My overall speeds have dropped to 1/5th of what they were previously during gaming sessions and the screen has been flickering etc.

To anyone that can help or has an idea on possible fixes I'd gladly appreciate it. The HDMI cable I bought is 25' so I am going to test it out on my 40' TV to see if the problem replicates itself to perhaps gain a better understanding of why I am getting the ghost monitor.
