  1. Second monitor's video freezes when playing game on main monitor.


    Hello, I have a new computer with windows 11When I'm playing a video game on my primary screen and want to watch a video on the second one, the video freezes and buffers as if there were internet issues. If I Alt-tab to my web browser I'm using Brave, and I’ve also tried Chrome with the same issue, the video resumes as if nothing happened.I’ve already looked into hardware acceleration in browsers: without success. I tried modifying the graphics settings by disabling the GPU scheduling : no effectI tried to exchange the main screen with the other, the problem remains presentHere the specifica

    second monitor and videos


    While playing game, your video on second monitor laggs?
    Do your monitors run at different resolutions?
    Have you tried use other browser to watch videos or other software?
    Also if you have Geforce Experience installed, try removing it.

  3. second monitor and videos


    So before windows ten I could play wow, swtor, secret world etc.. on my main monitor and watch netflix on my second monitor with no issues. Well after windows 10 the video in my second monitor lags out when i'm in the game am I playing. Now if i click on the video in the second monitor it plays just fine. Its just when i'm actualy on the game. Is this an issue that is happening for more people. Is there something I can check to see what is going on? Very frustrating and want to fix fast.

    Second monitor's video freezes when playing game on main monitor.

    Computer freezes when playing games on second monitor

    I have a Lenovo Z710 laptop that has two GPUs: an NVIDIA GeForce GT 745M and the Intel integrated graphics. When I don't have a second monitor hooked up to my laptop, games run without any issues; if I hook up the second monitor through VGA it runs fine until I start playing a game, and my computer freezes completely to the point where I have to force it to restart. It's never instant - sometimes it takes one hour for the freeze to happen - sometimes only 20 minutes.

    It seems like the freeze happens only when I'm using GT745M GPU while second monitor is connected to laptop. GPU drivers are up to date and I don't know what else to do to troubleshoot this problem.
