Constant screen tearing

First off, I own 2 monitors - a BenQ GW2765 (27" 1440p 60hz) and an Acer K242HL (24" 1080p 60hz) and an EVGA GTX 980. However, recently, I have been getting constant screen tearing on both monitors no matter what I'm doing. I could be scrolling down a reddit post, watching a video or playing a game with vsync on. I have the latest GPU drivers and have vsync set to on in the nvidia control panel global settings. What should I do?

Figured it out. Aero was disabled for some reason
