  • Well... doubleyou-tee-eff

    So, I've been running a dual monitor setup for years now, and I've been having trouble lately. When I boot up my computer, my right-hand monitor activates, shows the startup splash screen and express gate. Once I load in to windows, however, my right-hand monitor switches off, and my left-hand monitor switches on. At this point, I can't get my right-hand monitor to show any damn thing at all; windows deactivates the monitor and all desktop items shift to the left. If I activate the monitor, windows will recognize, but the light on the monitor just blinks.

    This happened a while ago, and I swapped the cords between the monitors and things worked fine for a while. Happened again last night, so I updated the drivers and again it worked fine all night. Just booted up my comp again this morning, and it's happening again.

    Any suggestions?

    I'm using the monitors in a dual-view setup, and I'm running a GeForce GTX 285.

    Stop being all fancy with dual monitors. I'm sure your gothic porn looks fine on one monitor.

      Yeah, but I need the pictures on one screen and the video on the other. Duh.

        Makes sense. Could it just be that your monitor died from so much gothicscat porn?

          Considering that it works just fine on startup, it's the newer of my two monitors and that jazz... No, I don't think so.

          Cables, maybe? Still using the old-style cables that need adapters with my video card....

            Also, have you tried turning it off and on again?

              Could it be the fucking adapter crapping out? If it's a new monitor, go get a newer one. See if that works. If not, get new cables. if not, get new adapters...if not STOP DOWNLOADING GOTHICSCAT PORN.

                Gee, no. I never tried turning a monitor off and on again. Why didn't I think of that?

                  Spoiler:  


                Guess I'll try new cables, then.
