    Second Monitor goes black after a couple of seconds

    I have a Dell laptop running Windows 10 and two monitors. The second monitor comes on and then goes black after a couple of seconds. If I turn it on, leave it for awhile, turn it off and then back on, it eventually stays on. I have switched out the monitor
    for a new one - which worked for awhile but now has the same problem. I have switched out the cable and the power cord and still have the problem.

    I checked the drivers and it says they are up to date. I tried changing the refresh rate with no success.

    Second screen with dual monitors randomly goes black

    Hi Andre,

    I updated the bios but no luck. It was a F.6, now on F.14 which is still a good thing to have. My second and third screens go randomly black for a couple seconds then come right back :)

    But the second monitor keeps going black for a second. Also it makes like a noice like something disconnects or something. But the power is just fine, I swapped monitors and when I make the other one my second display, that is the one going randomly black.

    Thanks.

    Second screen with dual monitors randomly goes black

    I have three Displayports, I swapped them around but it's always the "second" display that is going randomly black.

    For example if I change the settings for my left monitor to be the Main monitor, then the right(second) one would cause flicker.

    And If I change the right monitor to be the main monitor, then the left(second) monitor would flicker.

    So It's more like the settings I think?

    If I use 1x HDMI on second and 1x DP as main there is no problem. If I use 1x HDMI on main and 1x DP as second, the DP(second) one flickers.

    EDIT: yeah.. the port of the monitor is broken. I used HDMI on that monitor and it works. So I'll buy an adapter DP - Mini DP for my VR.

    Thanks for helping Andre!
