Hi i have been using an exteneded desktop the last few weeks my Samsung 27" 750 as the main desktop,games etc and a 22" Samsung 226cw for chat,battlelog etc.
Well a few days ago my main display crashed i have posted a pic what i saw ( i mangaed to get a photo the 3rd time it happened)
The 22" sammy was fine, this happened again when i went to shut down.
So the 3rd time i took a photo and thought i would disconnect my main 27" DP lead to see if the monitor stays like it but to my surprise it then made the 22" sammy go like this then when i plugged the DP lead back into my main 27" the 22" went back to normal and the display all corrupted on the 27" again.
So its not a monitor problem do you think a driver or im not setting extended up properly, i have to run 120hz on my main monitor and 60hz on my 22" is this why?
This is the main monitor

Looks to me like a graphics driver error. I would suggest upgrading your drivers and maybe trying a different DP lead? Does the 27" still display this error when the 22" is removed all together?

Hi well i went back to 1 monitor and havent had it and i have the latest drivers.
 
Have you Got an AMD graphics card? I use two monitors and usually when playing java based games my display drivers crashed and restarted, im not sure if you're getting a similar problem.

I rolled back my driver and i havent had any problems yet. I still update my drivers though CCC but i have any problems i just roll them back again.
