Windows 10: Dual screen issue, 2nd screen turns black ...

hey there,

i got a problem with a dual screen setup. when i boot my computer and turn on monitors my 2nd monitor doesnt stay on. he usualy turns black. then i gotta turn em off and on again like two times before he stays on. when he stays on i can hear a very silent peep sound commin from somewhere. since i got somewhat bad hearing i cant tell where it is commin from. last 2 days the monitor also started flickering for a few seconds.

Since i couldnt find anything on the web and dont know what is making the monitor do that, i figured i would ask you guys here *Smile

So here is what i did so far. I checked graphic drivers and the connections. nothin changed. *Sad

Thx in advance for the help...

Best regards

Screen saver problem.

Hello, after opening task manager at the black screen, the black screen disappeared and I was unable to find
LockAppHost.exe. (The black screen was supposed to be the screen saver!)

Afterwards, I tried to run DISM Commands but I was unable to enter the 2nd command. (I was unable to key in the commands).

Lastly, I ran the SFC scan and after the scan was completed, the screensaver still turns fully black......Help please.

 

2nd screen black after upgrade 12/11/15?

Hi

I have a new AIO plus a 2nd monitor. After the upgrade on 12/11/15 I now have a dual screen display with only half visible, as the 2nd monitor is black. I tried restarting the computer, but made no difference. The only info I am finding suggests having to
reinstall the display driver, which seems rather drastic for a new computer. Any ideas? I work from home and the dual monitor is essential to my work.

 

Check monitor's menu, some have own power saving mode.

 

im afraid not *Sad

posting monitor andc graphic card info on the first post.

 

What graphics card do you have?

 

Gigabyte 970 gtx .. as mentioned in the first post *Smile

 

It might be the power saving feature in Windows 10.

Go to settings app
type power in search and select first option
Change the Screen option to never.

 

it worked but i dont trust it xD i will test it a few days if it keeps working until i close this post. if the problem comes back i will post here again.

thanks for the help.

 

Check all your cables and make sure you don't have a lose connection somewhere. How old is this monitor? It could be failing? Can you try it on another PC to see if the issue moves with it?

 

I did check the cables, no lose connection there. I believe the monitor was made 2007, i dont remember exactly. Not sure if it is failing, this is the only issue i got since a few weeks out of nowhere, without any warning. Sadly i dont have another computer i can try it on *Sad

 

If it's a desktop PC, swap the monitor cables around and see if the issue moves to the other monitor. If it moves to the other monitor its likely a video card or video cable issue. If it stays it's likely an issue with that monitor.
Is that monitor HDMI? If yes, do you have a cable box that uses HDMI to the TV? If yes again, you could connect the monitor to your cable box and see how it works there.

 

Have a look here http://www.badcaps.net/forum/showthr...ncMaster+226bw fairly common failure with that model. Easy fix if you can solder and have the tools.

 

You can check if the problem is back light. Shine a light from an acute angle to the screen and look from similar angle but from other side. If you see any kind of the picture, even faintly, that means back light is bad.

 

sorry i didnt reply until yet .. im not at home this weekend and will return monday. gonna go trough all your posts and let ya know what happend.

thanks for all the help.
