    Monitor got switched up


    I was playing Escape from Tarkov and as I was loading into the game I forgot to set up the map on my second monitor so I quickly alt-tabbed to open it up on my second monitor, and my computer stuttered I guess I had the graphics set too high and my second monitor screen then switched over to the no signal screen and all my tabs I had open on the second monitor moved over to my main monitor and now, when I try to use the second monitor while its on it won't connect but once I turn the screen off by pressing the power button, windows detects the screen. I have no idea how to fix this, I've tried turning it off and on again, I've turned it off so that it would say it was connected and then unplugged my HDMI cord, turned the screen back on and then reconnected the HDMI cord to see if it would revert back to normal but that didn't work. I've also tried uninstalling the driver when the the computer says it was connected in the hopes that it would automatically reinstall the driver once I turned the computer back on but that also didn't seem to work.

    Overclocking / Undervolting guide for Vega 56 or 64?

    Here's a quick laundry list:

    List of software to use for overclocking and testing
    Examples:
    Wattman (and how to find and use it, like an overview, including profiles)
    Unigine Valley or Heaven (use this for quick testing while changing settings in Wattman and checking for stability / artifacts) ...just suggesting this
    How to monitor cores / mem speeds and temps during testing (I've seen screen overlays, and others using GPUz)

    Step-by step overclocking in Wattman
    Fan speeds
    Power limit
    Temp limit
    Voltages
    Core speeds
    Memory speeds

  3. Monitor Primary monitor layout switches upon second monitor power off

    Hi alts63,

    One of the possible reasons why your primary monitor layout switches is that the rotation lock option is turned on. In order to turn that off and fix the issue, please follow these steps:

    1. Press Windows key + A on your keyboard to open Action Center.
    2. Click the Expand button.
    3. Click the Rotation lock to turn it off.

    Let us know the result for us to help you further.

    Regards.
