DisplayPort Error

[xXCapAwesomeXx]

I have an MSI gtx 1080 ti Gaming X, as of about 30 minutes ago bit of my monitors plugged into DisplayPort were working fine then I turnned on my computer and only one monitor turned on the other woke up, said there was no signal, and went back to sleep. I have tried both DisplayPorts and they both work but won’t work at the same time. I have tried reseating my card and switching cables but only one monitor will work at a given time. I have no clue why this is happening and the only solution I can come up with is that it’s my GPU. If someone knows how to fix this please let me know.

I wouldn't exactly expect it to be a driver problem, but it's worth trying the most recent drivers to see if that's a problem.

have you checked your display properties to see if your computer even recognizes both monitors?

@firecrow797 my computer won’t recognize both, but when I boot up both monitors will turn on but only one will stay awake.

@Crunchy DragonI will try updating the driver, I am just not at all close to an Ethernet port

Maybe monitor is configure to wait on signal form different port. Check monitor menu and select the desired port you want to use. Many monitors use a method similar to this

i would assume its a physical issue like the cables

I think what he meant is "does your computer recognize them both in the Display Settings in Control Panel?" I could be wrong, that's just what it sounds like to me

My computer doesn’t recognize both monitors in display settings and I have been using both monitors in this set up for close to 6 months. I haven’t changed any settings recently and I know that both cables work cause I have swapped them around. I managed to get them both working if I used something like a DVI cable on one of them but then I can’t get either monitor to 144Hz @Crunchy Dragon @firecrow797 @Light-Yagami Thanks for the help so far. 

[firecrow797]

yes thats what i meant, like actually in the display properties control panel setting

[firecrow797]

i would try using Display Driver Uninstaller (DDU) and reinstalling the drivers, not really saying that would work but i would still try it

Reset your monitors to factory settings and completely wipe the GPU drivers with this program: http://www.guru3d.com/files-details/display-driver-uninstaller-download.html

Also uninstall geforce experience.

 

After the reboot, install geforce experience and install the driver through there. Starting with a clean sheet, you'll see if the problem is resolved and we can start working from there, should the problem persist.

@Light-Yagami I Used DDU to uninstall all of my drivers and uninstalled Geforce Experience, I have both monitors plugged in and upon boot the right monitor was the only one working then after reinstalling drivers the left monitor is the only one working. I am also unable to get my monitor to refresh at 144Hz even though I have a DisplayPort Cable plugged in. thank you for you assistance so far.

Turns out Windows decided it wanted to change the Multiple Displays setting to only my main Monitor...Only took like 3 hours ti figure that one out
