Dual Monitor One Of Them Goes Blank After A Few Minutes?
Jun 2, 2012
I am running Win 7 Pro x64, i7, MSI Twin Frozr II R6870 1st Monitor is a Dell SP2309W (dvi on video card to dvi on monitor)2nd Monitor is a HP W2338 LCD Monitor (dvi on video card to hdmi port on monitor)The 2nd monitor (HP) goes off after a few minutes, but if I'm playing a video on that monitor the sound is still plays, so I know it's still running in the background. I noticed that the picture on the monitor doesn't fill the whole screen like my 1st monitor does. So I checked the resolution and it's set the highest resolution it will go.I've checked the power settings by setting everything to never sleep or hibernate.I also checked the Graphic settings, but everything looks fine. I also updated the drivers for the video card. Both monitors are set to 60htz because that's the highest it will go.

Have just moved from XP to 7. Everything is perfect except for one minor detail - the screen saver : I choose, I preview (there it is), I set the minutes, but when the time is up I get a completely black screen - and no saver. I am afraid I am a bit confused about your TSG SysInfo.recommendation - I have right clicked and hit Copy, but where exactly has it gone?

my laptop suddenly starts to go blank after a few minutes of use. I am using Windows 7 Home 64 bit. I have updated drivers and a good virus program. Nothing has changed recently.

I was having a problem with dual monitor using 7127 build. But only when I use newest NVIDIA drivers. My tv just flashes a few times, and I can see that fish a couple of times, but then it just goes to like no signal. If I use default drivers which are installed on windows install, then it works fine, but then I dont have NVIDIA control panel and some other features.
My video card is GF 8800GTS 650M 512MB DDR3 DUAL DVI TV PCIE. I would like to know if anyone else is having this problem and If it has been fixed in the newest build, so I could be arsed to do a clean install.

I am running a dual monitor setup with my TV hooked up via HDMI to my laptop.
Everything was working fine before, I always had the laptop as my main display yet I could play a video or a game fullscreen on the TV.
Since a couple of days, as soon as I put something in fullscreen, it immediately goes on my laptop, regardless if it's open on my TV or my laptop. I don't remember changing/installing anything that could've changed that...
I checked a bit in the AMD vision software and the Windows control pannel but I can't seem to solve my problem without switching my TV as the main display. I also made a quick search on google as well as here but the problems were mainly with Flash, which isn't in cause here.
Here are my system specs:
Toshiba Satellite L75D
Windows 7 home premium 64-bit
AMD Radeon 6520G

I have just did a clean install of Windows 7 ultimate from XP and I am unable to get my dual monitors to work like they did in XP.
I have a DVI Radeon graphics card plugged into the agp slot, and a Nvidia geforce vga adapter plugged into a pci slot of my dell optiplex 755. When I am in the screen resolution settings the second monitor cannot be detected.
In bios I have 2 options under primary video adapter and they are auto, and onboard card. When set to auto the Nvidia card gets a signal but the Radeon does not. There are no conflicts in the device manager, and all of the drivers are up to date.
When I change the bios option to onboard card the Radeon adapter gets a signal but the other monitor cannot be detected and in device manager there is a yellow exclamation mark next to Standard VGA adapter and a code 10 error that states the device could not be started.
I have powered down, and unplugged every cable, I also tried to use the integrated VGA adapter to the Intel G31/G33/Q33/Q35 Graphics Controller but the computer will not even boot. I get
"System Halted
Attention Unsupported Video Configuration Detected"
I have two monitors, both work fine as standalone but Windows will not detect either as a secondary.
Please help me someone, I am so used to having my helpdesk email open in one monitor and all of my other work in the other monitor.

I'm having an issue with a computer I just put together. I used a motherboard, power suppply, hard drive and various components from a previous build. The video card and case are new.The problem I'm having is the monitor turns off after a minute or two as if it has lost connection to the computer. I hear a tick and then it shuts off. The computer itself stays running, fan lights are on etc. It's as if the computer goes idle. Nothing will turn the monitor back on,disconnecting, turning the power on the monitor off and on, etc. The computer cannot be forced off.

This computer is running an ATI Radeon HD 2400 Pro. It does support dual monitors...(I've had dual monitors active on this card before, but never on Windows 7.) But since installing windows 7, I can't even get it to detect the second monitor. I want to run the setup with the CRT as the primary monitor and the HD as the secondary.

When I set the power management to turn off the monitor after x minutes, the monitor is off for 1 second and it turned on automatically. I am using msi ex600 laptop.
I have tried the following:
* Unplugged the mouse
* Exit from all application's running
* Disable the network card
My bios and graphic card are updated. The hibernate option is working fine. Is there a way to find what turns on the monitor?

Windows 7 Ultimate (x64) keeps turning the monitor off after 15 Mins of in-activity.However - before it does that at 14 Mins and 30 Seconds it sorta does a quick flash - then at exactlly 15 mins does the turning off.All the power options are set to Never. (I have even created my own power plan for this)I have never had this problem on this PC before - this is a new install - and since then it has been doing this.

I have made sure that the power settings in control panel have been set to "never" under advanced settings. About 4 months ago, windows decided to set my monitor shut off time to 20 minutes. The first time it happened, I figured it was a one-off thing, and set the monitor off setting back to "never". Fast forward 4 months, and I have to turn the setting to "never" every time I start my computer. I've even made custom power profiles, and every time I restart, the monitor off setting keeps going back to 20 minutes.

I'm using a television (32p) as a second monitor in extended mode so that I can watch a movie in the TV and play a game in the monitor (this was my main goal). Monitor and TV lays in two different ambients, both connected to the same pc, one by normal VGA cable and the other by HDMI. I managed to differentiate the audio output so that VLC player sends it's audio to the HDMI (so that only the TV plays it) and the rest of system sounds, media players and games outputs to the speakers (basically only the VLC audio is directed to another output device). I reached my goal so that I can watch a movie fullscreen in the TV and play a game in the monitor fullscreen too without any interference from one another (nor audio or video).
The thing is, because I have the TV in another ambient I can't actually see what's going on in it, as I just "throw" the VLC window to the TV from my main monitor. And here's the question: There's a way to see the TV's desktop in my monitor? Without having to set it as main monitor so to not really switch between desktops.. The perfect thing would be if I could see the TV's desktop in a window like in remote desktops applications.

Yesterday When I start my PC, I found that my monitor has some blank black space at the right side of the monitor. I didn't change any resolution, but It is automatically happened. I tried changing the resolution, but nothing worked. So, I thought to get support from you guys. I am using Nvidia Geforce 7025/ Nvidia nforce 630a. also I tried to update the driver, but windows says that I am using the best driver for this hardware.

I am going to preface this by saying that this has *nothing* to do with restoring from sleep or hibernate modes. In searching for an answer to this issue, I found way too much related to that.
My problem is simple. Occasionally (~50% of the time) when I turn the monitor back on after shutting it off, it will stay blank and not really turn back on. It makes no difference how long the monitor has been off. After turning it back on, the power light is green, indicating there is a signal, but the screen is black.
Again, the computer has not slept or hibernated. I simply shut off the monitor and later come back to turn it on. The same thing will happen occasionally if Windows shuts the monitor off after the configured time. (I did that last part as a test; I typically do not automatically shut it off.)
Specs:
OS: Windows 7 64-bit
CPU: Intel Core i7 860
MB: Asus P7P55D
Memory: 8GB - Corsair CMX6GX3M2A1600C9 (2 x 2 x 2GB)
Graphics: NVIDIA GeForce 8800 GTS 640MB
Monitor: Chimei CMV 221D
NVIDIA Drivers: 8.17.11.9562 (11/20/2009)
I originally thought it was the OS that was hung. However, I was able to go into the start menu and restart ("Start" -> "Right" -> "Right" -> "R"), so I know the OS was there responding to my commands.
Attempts to fix:
- Restart the computer. This worked.
- Shut off the power to the monitor and turn it back on. This works most of the time.
- Lock and unlock Windows. This works after a few tries.
- Hit CTRL-ALT-DEL followed by ESC. This works after a few tries.
So, I have a fairly simple work around now. So this is only a minor annoyance. Hitting CTRL-ALT-DEL then ESC does seem to work. I don't think it is a placebo because I waited 5 minutes and it did not come back, but after 2 cycles of that, it came back. I think that fixes it because it causes full screen refreshes.
Does anyone have any ideas or has anyone seen this before? The drivers are recent, but I noticed this with the clean-install Windows 7 drivers for this card as well. This is a very clean and very recent install (3 days). I never had this problem with Vista 32-bit, the same graphics card, recent drivers, but different CPU/motherboard/memory.

I installed win 7 on my laptop. After completing the instalation, I started with update all drivers through device manager. When monitor software was finished with updating, monitor have had a black screen. There is no signs of life after many times of switching off the laptop on switch button.
I have tried to remove drivers in safe mode, but f8 or f10 on starting up does not run. Simply, screen is black, as it is no part of laptop.
Model of laptop is fujitsu siemens, model of monitor is samsung.
How can I resolve this?

I have been using 2 monitors for a year or so. One day my second monitor stopped working. When the computer starts or I cycle power to the monitor the screen displays briefly (1-2 seconds) and then goes blank. It shows the desktop correctly (or whatever would be there) but won't stay that way. Each monitor works correctly on it's own and in either port and with either DVI cable.
NVIDIA GeForce GTS 240
Monitor1: Samsung Syncmaster 245BW
Monitor2: LG Flatron W2361V
What I have tried:
1. I have switched out all cables.
2. Tried monitor on another computer (works)
3. Unplugged everything and let it sit 20 minutes or so and then plugged it all back in
4. Updated video drivers, including a fresh install of Nvidia control software
5. Adjusted to all available refresh rates and resolutions on both monitors

My dual screen has suddenly stopped working on my laptop. Now when I hit 'detect' my laptop screen goes black and I have to force restart the machine and disconnect the second laptop. Is this likely to be a hardware fault?

Friend has a dual monitor and wants to play a game across both of them, the problem is the option doesn't appear I think it might be the new driver he installed. I tried installing Hydravision which has an option to span across displays but it doesn't work can anyone help?

I have Dual monitor setup running on a NVIDIA Quadro FX 4500 driver: 191.00 (latest). Second monitor will not display.
Via Nvidia tool as well as control panel I get an error that the "configuration cannot be saved" when trying to extend my desktop.
Second monitor shows up as a choice, but will not display even when selected.
Monitor displays "data" during boot screens.
Any solutions on how to get windows/graphics card to see both monitors?

I have just built a new machine the last three weeks and finally last night I was ready to complete my final transfer from old to new computer. That meant adding my 2nd monitor to my new machine.
My graphics card is a GeForce 9400gt. I have the latest drivers from Nvidia's web site. New machine with Windows 7 has been working for 2 weeks with a single monitor.
Both monitors are fairly new. The graphics card has one DVI and one VGA input so I must set up my dual monitors that way,
My problem is when I hook up my 2nd Monitor I get the BSOD. I will spend 1 more night trying to fix it but that is it.
So my questions are as follows:
1. Does anymore have any ideas why The BSOD comes up when my 2nd monitor is plugged in?
2. Does anyone using Windows 7 have a working graphics card with a dual monitor set up that is working? If so, what card is it? I may be buying one tomorrow.

i have:
Windows XP pro (32 bit)
nVida GeForce FX 5200 has VGA;DVI;SVideo
ok heres what i did b4
i had 2 monitors one vga one and one dvi one and i hooked it up and i had i good dual monitor setup but when ever i loaded some programs the would give me a bsod screen and restart for example fsx dark basic and others that change resolution.
now....
i re installed nvida drivers and there updated (i think)
i have the DVI monitor hooked up right now with 1 display only
i have the desktop manager software enabled and running and the Nvida control pannel running.
and what i want to now is that i want to have a horizontal span setup (reason):
ok well i have seen that FSX can run on 2 monitors and that you can have a really cool display with both displaying images can i do this on a dual monitor setup or not or do i need to get a better card (preferably not)?
What to i do now?
ok so do i go to set up multipul monitors and do it that way or is there another way to do it better theres one last question, well i herd from a friend that in the display options like when you right click in the desktop then goto properties then settings. the friend said that there was an option to enable dual monitor support. before i had my setup i did not see that option and neither do i now im guessing that i don't have 2 monitors hooked up now.
I am obsessed about getting this to work so if i am making any of you people here mad i'm sorry and Thank-You for the help that you have given me recently, btw i got my processor to work and i got it hyperthreaded..

Anyway i have 2 22" LCD Monitors and when i plug them in. Windows 7 does this weird thing were when you select the option to extend the desktop spanning from left to right. Instead of simply scrolling from the left screen to the right screen with your hand as you usually would with any OS, Windows 7 BETA somewhat reverses it were you have to scroll to the left from your 1st monitor to get the 2nd monitor. (sorry if this is really confusing im having a differculty writing this also haha)
And if you select your monitor on your left to be your primary monitor, it will wont do that it will move the it to your right monitor instead so i decided to physically switch the monitors around on my desk to get it normal. but i don't like the idea of my computer telling me what to do hahaha.
I know its a beta OS but its still based somewhat on vista. ive got the latest drivers for my graphics card and my graphics card is a NVIDIA 260GTX so its pretty meaty and it can do dual monitor fine on other os's.

I've searched the internet far and wide as well as these forums and have not been able to find the answer. Unfortunately, my sister-in-law's dog killed my 2nd monitor so I haven't been able to test on my own since installing the RC version last week. (new monitor will arrive next week)
My question:
If you RDP in Windows 7 from a computer with dual monitors to an XP computer with dual monitors is the multimon support available?
I want the session to feel as though I'm at work with dual monitors.... not just spanning the 2 monitors. My work computer runs windows xp.
Currently the only way to get this functionality in xp is to use the span command and to use add-in 3rd part software that does not work that great.

okay so I am at work and whenever I want to maximize a window to fill the left side of the monitor, it for some reason maximizes and centers in between both the monitors. Does anyone know how to fix this? I know that probably didn't make much sense, but I attached a picture to show what I am talking about. I was trying to maximize this window by dragging clicking it at the top and dragging it all the way to the top to maximize, but it centers in the middle?
