Windows not closing properly on new monitor.

[AdmiralStanley]

Hi guys, having a small problem with the windows GUI. 

 

I recently purchased a AOC G2460PG and have it as part of a 3 monitor setup on my battlestation. It is running at 144hz, at 1920x1080 (Gsync enabled) in the center of a pair of older samsung monitors running at 60hz at 1680x1050. These are all powered by an Asus GTX 780. My system is running Windows 7 professional 64 bit. Here is a link to my entire Rig :HERE:

 

My problem is this:

sometimes on the AOC display, when I close or minimize a window rather than going through the transition I would expect from aero (when it becomes see through and moves down to the task bar) it pauses about a quarter of the way down and just sits, unclickable. It looks frozen part way into closing or minimizing. Sometimes after a few seconds it catches up and goes but other times it does not. If I hit Ctrl-alt-delete, and then just close that menu and come back to my desktop its fixed. it only seems to happen on the new display. It is very confusing and a bit frustrating. It seems also that once one window is doing it, any others I interact with at the same time will also freeze but that could just be me imagining it. 

 

Any ideas? im at a loss and having to open the task manager to restore chrome windows gets a bit tedious on the 12 time in a day,

It's probably th gpu not being able to handle all the monitors. What is your graphics card?

as I wrote above I am using a 

 

ASUS GTX 780 -DC2OC-3GB GDDR5

I also have an HDMI cable running to my TV, but it's not enabled in the Nvidia control panel. Is that taxing the GPU even not on or enabled?

If it's plugged in, chances are the card is pushing pixels for it.

Okay ill yank that cable first thing and see if that makes a difference. Thank you. Is my GPU not powerful enough to handle 3 monitors?

It should be... Even my lowly 7950 constantly pushes 2, and it has no problems.

Turn off Aero and see if that is the problem.

Or keep Aero on, but turn off "Animate Windows Minimizing and maximizing."

Okay ill try that. its still happening with the TV unplugged. Ill try messing with aero settings.

I managed to get a screenshot of a screen being broken. Changing the Aero settings doesn't seem to have made a difference.

I'm not sure how I can fix this, but hopefully I can get information for the people who can.

 

When the box doesn't close like in the picture above, can pressing F5 (refresh) work on the desktop? F5 should refresh the desktop the same way as it refreshes in an internet browser.

Or is the window (chrome as in the picture above) still responsive and just crashed?

Is Chrome the only program that does this, or at least the first program to do it?

As you said other windows do it more often after the first one occurs. Is Chrome always the first one?
