    Dual Monitors Flashing Black
    « on: July 05, 2018, 12:48:57 PM »
    I have been having problems with my dual monitors. For some reason they flash black for a few seconds randomly whenever I have them both on. The problem stops happening when I unplug my second monitor. I am not able to attach a small video showing it happen sadly because the website keeps denying it. Thank you for the help.

      cables OK?
      got the latest vid card driver?
      when did this start happening... Windows Update?  new driver auto installed?
      does it only happen running certain things or all the time?
      what is your OS and vid card?
