I what way has it screwed everything up?

 

Issue fixed, I unpluged both PSU and Monitor and it worked again. WTF caused this?

So i have 2x VG248Qe and they where working fine untill i put my computer to sleep, it woke up by it self then the display's turned off due to idle for too long , when i went to turn on the displays again, the main monitor would not turn on, so i restarted windows and now the main monitor is showing up in windows but cant enable it i will link a photo with windows display options as well nivida control panel , iv'e tried unplugging power and the DP cable to no avail. any idea? (i posted in monitors but no response and may be a OS issue)

Firstly No need to post duplicate thread within a short period of time.

 

Secondly have you checked that it isn't a cable problem, try swapping the cables between the monitors and see if the main one displays then if not try using the main monitor on a different DP if it works there then you display port is faulty in some way.

 

Secondly another option would be updating to Drivers of your GPU/ Reinstalling them.

 

Just some trouble shooting that could work 

Some people prefer a challenge, I just band my head against a wall until my method works...

If you want to access the Bios Then you gonna need to connect you Monitor to the onboard GPU while having nothing connected to the GPU that should allow you to view the BIOS

I was able to view it without doing that, this second monitor seems to have screws everything up

Power fluctuations? I don't bloody know sometimes random stuff can fix problems :/
