  1. need help with faulty monitor from a dual set up


    I have a dual monitor set up operating with windows 10. Both monitors work properly, but I lose access to 1 monitor, the 2nd monitor, after my computer sits idle for a while. I can regain access to the 2nd monitor when I do a restart. If I start my computer from the off position my 2nd monitor does not get recognized and I have to do a restart. I tried making the 2nd monitor my primary which did not work. I tried to update drivers that did not work. The cable is fine because the monitor works in certain situations. I am at a loss for solutions. Any help would be greatly appreciated. thanks in advance.

    :)
