Sorry i forgot to post on here to. Problem was fixed something wrong with my "game ready drivers" was messing with everything. After removing them everything has been working fine. I don't know why this would cause everything to stop working and stuff to black screen. But that's the only problem I was able to find.

So recently I started having issues with my dual monitors.
This is my setup
Acer: XFA240 144hz 1ms
Acer: V246HL 60hz (unknown ms)
I recently switched to these cables (https://amzn.to/2B3iyJ6) so that they were long enough to reach as the previous ones were not. However recently everytime I fullscreen a game on the 144hz monitor it black screens. But if I fullscreen on the 1080p monitor it's totally fine. Is this a cable issue and do the cables just not support the monitor? Or is it possible this is a GPU/Monitor issue? Cause when it black screens I still have sound and the moitor still reads it's just i have no video. If someone could help me out with this it would be great. Because then if I go back to one monitor the monitor works just fine and doesn't black screen.

Update: Still black screens on the 144p monitor even when the other monitor is unplugged. Works if I alt-tab out and back in but on initial start up it always black screens.

I am not sure what the problem is but I think it might be a software issue or an issue with you're game

 

I could be wrong BTW. It is just an idea.

that'd be great if it's just a software issue. But basically what's going on is since I've switched to those cables. Anytime I full screen on the 144hz it black screens, has audio and video if I go back to the desktop. But anytime a game opens up if it goes full screen it black screens.

So, You are trying to run 1080p at 144Hz? Also, What happens if you run only 1 monitor. Does it still BS?

I'm not running it at 144hz unless the monitor does by default. I've even locked my games at 60hz and it still black screens on startup.
