    Dual monitors cycling on and off


    I'm trying to figure out what the hell is going on with my monitors. I am running a HP 8560W laptop hooked up to a docking station that has dual video outputs. I had dual AOC monitors hooked up with DVI cables before and they worked just fine. I upgraded to dual HP 27ea monitors hooked up with a dvi to HDMI cable and they keep cycling on and off when they are both turned on. Windows recognizes both monitors and if I only power one on, it doesn't cycle on/off. But as soon as I turn the other one on, they both cycle on/off. It doesn't seem like they are disconnecting from the computer, but instead just turning on and off. Almost like on is causing interference to the other one.

    I just don't understand whats going on. I have ordered display port to HDMI cable to see if that might be the problem but I don't think it is.

    :)

    Latest update

    After the latest update my Lenovo A530 all in one is stuck in 100% brightness and the adjustment control keeps cycling. The buttons under the monitor keep coming on and off and the on screen indicator keeps cycling along with the buttons. I can get the
    on screen indicator to go off by disabling the generic Pnp Monitor driver. Then I have no control of my display. All drivers are showing up to date: graphics and Monitor.

    Dual Monitors randomly turning off then on

    The Graphics card is internal. So, if it makes the noise you are saying, does that mean is the the Graphics card? And if it is the Graphics card, the only fix would be a motherboard replacement right? Unless i want to install an aftermarket graphics card.

    It may be more resolution than it supports. Are they higher resolution than the AOC monitors?

    Nope, same. made sure the settings were right. I'm just pounding my head since I spent so much money on the new monitors..........

    I've completely uninstalled all display drivers and re installed, still same thing.

    Hmmm..... it seems to work fine with one on a DVI out and the other on VGA.

    Does it have a Displayport you can use? Glad it is working now!
