Display Glitches

BrokenOnion

So i recently got a the Asus PA238qr and decided to do a dual display setup with my old monitor. Just to be clear, its not an eyefinity surround setup, i just used the extend feature in Windows' display settings to make another desktop on my other monitor.

 

The problem is that both displays have been glitching. The old monitor will sort of stutter a little bit, usually when im scrolling.

Not a big deal, but my new monitor will, out of the blue, go to a black screen with horizontal lines glitching out all over it and usually the only way to stop it is to put my computer in sleep and then wake it. Sometimes though, if i wait a few seconds after, the desktop will come back, but still be broken up into horizontal lines.

 

This doesnt happen very often, usually only once or twice a day, and seems to happen when im scrolling down on chrome. Has never happened while gaming.

 

Is this a problem with the way windows handles multiple displays or is it a graphics card issue?

I think this could be your monitor, have you tried using the monitor alone? And with the intergrated graphics?
