Im getting an exceedingly strange behavior from my laptop.
When I boot my computer (after shutdown), everything is fine. my laptop gets the normal 60hz. but if I plug my 144hz monitor in, my laptop display goes to 32hz (still shows as 60 in the display settings), and my monitor goes to approximately 102hz (shows 144 in settings). even if I go to monitor only and disable the laptop screen it shows 102hz.
unplugging the monitor does nothing and my screen stays at 32. so every time I have to use my monitor or unplug the monitor my refresh rate gets cut in half until I do a fresh boot. (sleeping/waking does not do anything).
im getting the 32/102 numbers by looking at the ufo test. it shows that as the frame rate, but its also extremely obvious by just looking.
another weird part is that on the monitor at least, it doesnt stay at 102. it will fluctuate a LOT. ill get random short bursts (for like half a second) of the full 144hz and then back to 102. (I can feel it when I play games).
The attached video is what I see when I use my monitor. recorded with my phone in slow mo
