I have no idea what the hell is going on, but I didn't have this problem at all running a single monitor, but I got a new IPS panel to replace my cheapo panel and turns out the thing doesn't overclock or downsample at all.
So since there's a restockinging fee I said "screw it" and demoted it to be being a portrait external monitor for webpages and stuff while I'm gaming.
Only problem is that since introducing this new monitor, I'm having a repeated problem thats really pissed me the hell off.
Now with this new monitor reguardless of connector is causing, i have no idea what it's called, but my main monitor is crashing. Where the display errors out and shows lines or blocks. The computer didnt crash itself. Can still hear the audio and programs.
now this has NEVER happened while using a single monitor, but after the 6th "crash" today, the new monitor got chucked across the room(still works, but I'm about ready to a boot to the screen just to describe how aggrevating this is.)
I'm in the middle of browsing the internet, or talking to my gf on steam or something, and "crash" main monitor goes down.
this has never freakin happened before.
this problem has been doing this since i got the new monitor, and I have no idea what's going on.

This issue has got me pretty pissed because I'm used to absolute flawless operation with my machine. 24/7 uptime without a problem, but now this little issue has me pretty irrate.
