I have some strange behaviour with my dual monitors.

Monitor 1 – Phillips 40” 4K – connected with DP cable.

Monitor 2 – Dell 27” – connected with HDM cable.

GFX is a GeForce RTX 2070 super with latest Gforce drivers.

5 time out of 10 when I turn the PC on the light on the Phillips monitor flashes and I don’t get signal to either monitor. Sometimes a re-boot of the PC puts the light on solid on the Philips monitor and I then get display on both monitors, but normally I have to power the Philips monitor off and on, and then display works on both.

I don’t have power sleep settings set on in XP, and nothing like that is turned on in the monitor settings.

This all worked fine on an old PC I have just upgraded from that had a vintage GFX in it, only started since going to this new rig recently.

I’ve bought brand new cables for both monitors to try to rule that out, no difference.

Anyone got any ideas on what I can try to look at next please?
 
Anyone got any ideas on this one please, it's driving me bonkers.
 
The monitors are extended. Have tried swapping primary and secondary, same isssue. It's driving me bonkers.

My cables are 2m long as have on a long desk, but this wasnt an issue on my old rig with the same set-up, just on this new one.
