Programs move screens

Okay so I installed my EVGA GTX760 Dual SC yesterday and after that, when my computer locks all my programs get moved to my main screen. Before I had the GPU and I was on integrated graphics, the applications would stay on the display I had them last. Do you guys know of anything I can do to change it back to the way it was? If it can't be done, I can live with it I just preferred it the old way.

How often does your computer lock? Seems like you would want to get that fixed before worrying about icons moving.

I have my computer lock after 5 minuets after the screens turn off. And it isn't icons that move, its the application window that changes back to the main screen. Like if I had Chrome open on my left screen, once the computer locks the chrome window is not on the left (Main) screen.

What version of nVidia drivers are you using.

What version of nVidia drivers are you using.

According to Nividia's control panel, I am running Driver Version 337.88. It was the latest one on EVGAs site that was non beta last week. If it helps any, I am running 8.1 Pro 64-Bit. 

 

Edit: I will add that I just finished a Bios Upgrade to see if that helps any. Doubt it but it is worth a shot.

Maybe give the Beta driver a try too: http://www.nvidia.com/download/driverResults.aspx/76513/en-us

Downloading the driver now and will give it a shot soon. The BIOS update didn't do it.

Well Beta Driver didn't fix it. Since I have never had a desktop with a GPU in it, I am not sure if this is normal

Sometimes weird things happen when your PCI-E power connectors arent plugged in fully all the way. Double check those connections

Will check tonight when I remove my build from my Source 530 into my 760T, Thanks for the tips.
