Weird Dual Monitor Power Problem

Hi,

I am experiencing a strange power problem with my monitors. I have two, each hooked up to a Radeon HD 800 series video card with dual DVI connectors.

The problem is this: When I have my computer working as normal, if I switch off my secondary monitor, and then switch it back on, my primary monitor's display garbles and goes out for a second until my secondary monitor is back on. Also, anything that was displaying on my secondary monitor does not refresh and I can not access those programs.

Does anyone know what is wrong and how to fix this?

Thanks,

Michael R

Have you try to update ATI drivers?

when you go to adjust your display settings does it list your monitors by name, or does it list them as PnP monitor? are you using catalyst control to make your settings or are you using vista display settings?

Hi,

My monitors are listed by name. Using Catalyst and Vista display settings are identical and each work exactly the same.
