Plugging in one monitor causes the other to go off

[AlanMW]

So here is my issue. I have had 3 displays for a few months now and during light use today one of them turns off. Thinking it was a simple fix I tried new display port wires, unplug re plug etc. Well after some tinkering I find that when I unplug any of the three monitors the other two work fine. I have a 1080p sony tv, a qnix qx2710LED 1440p monitor, and a pb287q 4k monitor. Like I said they have been working fine in this configuration for months. Any suggestions? Specs below:

CPU: Intel 5820k
GPU: Gigabyte GTX 980Ti
Motherboard: Gigabyte x99-ud3p-cf
RAM: 16 GB G.Skill Trident Z
Monitors: Sony TV (HDMI), Qx2710LED (DisplayPort), PB287Q (DisplayPort)

Sometimes the things windows and nvida do seemingly out of the blue is what pisses me off the most. After a few hours of looking through nvida settings, reinstalling drivers, and on the edge of submitting an RMA request, I have found the solution. And if you are reading this with the same issue I hope this makes your day.

Right Click on Desktop > Nvidia Control Panel > Display > Set up multiple displays > REcheck the monitor that is non responsive.

I have no idea what could have caused this issue. Here is a photo to help anyone out: http://imgur.com/s1duqFQ
