Windows 10: Explorer crashes/hangs when active monitor changes

Hi there so I have a problem that I would really like some assistance with. Hopefully someone can help. I'll describe the problem, and then my setup to hopefully provide as much useful info as I can.Essentially when I turn off my PC monitor, my TV will change to primary monitor, and explorer will crash, and vice versa. I turn off my TV, and turn on my monitor and again explorer will crash.I suspect it has something to do with resolution scaling, as I tested out by setting a fixed scaling of %175 and the issue went away.

HD 2600XT Hangs and Crashes

I can probably play cod4 or any other game really for about 45-60 minutes before my system hangs and my card crashes and my screen goes blank, i know its only my card because my system doesnt restart, my card fan stops running on full from its riva override, and soon thereafter my screen comes back on in 800x600 and i cant access the card's drivers to change the res or anything, so when it hangs and crashes i just resort to manually restarting.

one thing i think i could try is to bite the bit and install the latest drivers, i've been holding off on that.

but if there's anything else anyone can think of, or if someone has had the same problem as me. go for it and give me some suggestions.

in before buy the 4870. (already on my wish list)

 

Computer hangs (crashes) after automatically turning off monitors

Just changed it. Will update you. Thanks!

BTW, when it is set to just have the screensaver come on but not turn off the monitors, I have no problems at all.

Ugh, I had 2 good days with no crashes with the monitors powering down, but 2 crashes in the last 12 hrs or so.....
