Hello,
I have two monitors connected to my desktop computer. I use both monitors and today only 1 botted up. I though it was cable problem, co I switched cables and that didint helped. So I disconnected one monitor and then voila the other monitor worked. I tried both the DP ports and it turned out **only one monitor could function at the same time.**Very interesting. So it wasnt cables, it wasnt DP ports on the grahic card.
When I looked in the display settings in windows, there was a new message under my second monitor "Display 2 Isn't Active".
So the system knew about the second display, it just wasnt active.
What now?
EDIT: SOLUTION: I opened Nvidia control panel and under "Display" and "Set up multiple displays" I chcked the other display. It was unchecked for some reasons.
Now it works.
