    Desktop randomly restarts. Main monitor completely black, 2nd monitor fully green


    Hi there,


    I just got a new desktop computer and have windows 10 Pro on it and installed my 'standard' software on it for school and gaming.

    Since yesterday, my pc randomly shuts down and my main monitor is 100% black no error or something and my second monitor is 100% green also no error. After a few seconds, my pc boots up again and both monitor turn on normally again.


    Could someone help me with this problem? please let me know if additional information is required


    Thanks in advance,

    Patrick

    :)

    Monitor is going black or distorted white randomly

    I have a LCD monitor on my computer. Randomly, the monitor will either go completely black (as if powered off, and the power light turns off) or it will get a distorted frozen white screen (like how your smartphone would look if you dropped it in a toilet and tried to turn it on). Not too surprising, I have not dropped this 21 inch monitor in a toilet. The only way I can get the monitor to work again is by unplugging it and plugging it back in

    I'm pretty sure that it is just a dead monitor that needs to be replaced, but a friend suggested that it might just be the power cord, since the monitor will work (like it is now) for hours on end, then suddenly start randomly not working. It's worth checking out, but before dropping money on a new monitor (if it isn't the power cord), can anyone confirm (or strongly suggest) that it is not a CPU issue or video card? Or maybe someone has seen this before?

    2nd monitor

    16 bit ????

    VGA ???? to HDMI ????

    But when I plug that one in, it won't let anything open on the first monitor and nothing on the 2nd

    Did you go to the display settings and try extending the desktops for each and apply the settings and restart pc.
