Has to be a driver issue....
« on: November 21, 2021, 09:15:22 AM »
Hey guys, so long story short, my GPU died.  I'm setting up IGP.  All the motherboard and IGP drivers have been updated and the monitor drivers.  When I connect both monitors I can either duplicate them or view them on mon 1 or 2.  If I extend the view to both monitors I get this result https://imgur.com/eZuW16A (video of monitors flickering).  I know it works in extended, I was changing some cabling and unplugged the HDMI accidentally and didn't notice until I'd booted.  Now it won't work.

Okay, there is a change, now when I select extend it just stays at whichever monitor it was assigned to.

if the HDMI cable was hot-plugged try another cable...

I had to use DDU and then reboot and reinstall the drivers.  Odd, unless it was something floating around from when the GPU was working.
