Dual Monitor Problem

Hi guys.

Have just seen a post about someone having problems with their dual monitors but didn't want to invade on there thread so have made another one instead.

Basically I have just bought a new monitor so I now have 2 x Iiyama ProLite E2407's going into my 2 DVI ports on my graphics.

Graphics card is a Asus GeForce GTX 460 Direct CU TOP 768MB GDDR5 PCI-Express.

The problem is one of the monitors just decides to go off randomly and then when I try and unplug/plug the DVI cable back in, it doesn't have any of it.

Furthermore, through messing round with the DVI cable's the PC has now started to Blue Screen when a monitor is unplugged.

Can't see why it would be doing this.

Any ideas?

Cheers
Tom.

Anyone?

What happens if you swap the monitors to the other DVI port?

Last night it wasn't recognising any inputs when I was trying to get the displays working again. Was weird.

Working fine again today but only time before it messes up again.

Using the DVI cable that came with the monitors? Tried the HDMI/VGA connection instead?

I've only got 2 x DVI's and a HDMI mini.

Could try a different DVI cable if you think that is worth a shot?

Best to try, never know, could be a faulty DVI cable.

However I'm using three of the very same monitors and the supplied cables have been working fine for me.
