I have dual monitors on a Windows 8 system that has been working fine for months. Here are the conditions of my problem:
* Recently, upon startup the left monitor is blank.
* After turning monitor switch off and on again the display comes back (usually - sometimes I need to switch a couple times).
* Suspected a bad monitor so I swapped ports but problem persisted on left monitor.
* My graphics card is a Radeon XFX AMD graphics card
Remedies tried:
* Deleted display devices. This seemed to work for the very first reboot but after that the problem recurred.
* reinstalled Radeon drivers. No effect.
Suspicions:
* The graphics card seems to be okay because upon switching monitor off and on it comes up and the display looks fine.
* That leaves Windows 8, unless I am missing something
Thanks in advance for any suggestions.
