2nd screen went dark

[buzz456]

Here's a new one for me anyhow. My second screen on startup flashes with content for just a second and then goes dark. If I unplug it from the computer and then plug it back in it does the same thing shows the desktop for just a second and then goes to black. Tried restart and no joy. I thought maybe the GPU had a issue so I swapped it out as well as the monitor. No change. Any ideas anyone?

Try replacing the video cable. Double check the power cable as well.

Done and done.

My second screen always turn to a bright green but only for a few seconds. I think its a Microsoft issue, what else

Merry Chrismas to all

After a lot of messing around it appears the pack rat guy (me) had saved a bad monitor which when used as a test object told me that the monitor wasn't the problem. However after chasing my tail for two days and going back for a monitor check it turned out the monitor was the problem after all. Back in business with two monitors...............Whew.
