    Dual Monitors flashing on and off


    I have dual monitors on my gaming pc and acer and a asus, they are both relatively new but i have a problem, when im in a game they will both cut to black then turn back on saying what there plugged in through (DVI and HDMI) both are plugged into my graphics card (NVIDIA GTX 760) if there is any fix please let me know or ill haft to resort to just 1 monitor.

    there is no issue when i have just 1 monitor plugged in just 2 and i have no integrated graphics to my mother board.

    :)

  2. 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.

  3. Dual Monitors randomly turning off then on

    So i have a user using a Dell Optiplex 7040 on Windows 10 Enterprise 64-bit OS. The user complained of her 2 monitors turning off then off randomly while she was working. When the monitors would come back up, all her icons would be rearranged either all
    on one monitor or the other. The 2 monitors she had were rather old and were both using a display port to VGA adapter. I decided to just replace both monitors with 2 brand new Dell P2217H monitors. These monitors had a display port so there was no need for
    adapters any more. I went to check on the user to make sure everything was good and she said it was better. She said that while the monitors still turn off briefly from time to time, her icons no longer are rearranged. I got on her PC and made sure that both
    video drivers are updated, which they were. Basically the same issue is happening, on 2 totally different monitors, so this tells me its the PC, but what? Drivers are updated, the cables are new, and the problem intermittently. Sometimes just the right monitor
    will turn off and the left will stay on, and other times the left monitors turns off and the right stays on. Never together. Any help or suggestions would be appreciated.

    Dual Monitors flashing on and off

    Make sure you have the newest Nvidia driver for Windows 10 installed. Also, can you give us some more specifics on your hardware setup? Does it happen in all games, or only some? Which games are you playing? It sounds like the graphics card is having trouble processing two screens when gaming. The 760 shouldn't have an issue with this with most games.
