Installing three monitors caused glitches and black screens.
Installing three monitors caused glitches and black screens.
Hello everyone, I'm facing a challenge and need some suggestions. I've set up three monitors on my PC – two dedicated displays and one HDMI – all linked through the graphics card. Recently, while playing League of Legends, my main screen would turn black immediately after selecting champions or sometimes it would open but stutter, affecting the main display even when nothing is running. This issue used to disappear when I had just two screens. I'm unsure if the problem lies with my power supply's wattage or something else.
I've checked the firewall, refresh rates, drivers, cables, and even disabled the NVIDIA surround because of the monitor layout (portrait and landscape). I ran all troubleshooting steps and haven't found a solution. My system specs are: Windows 10 x64. I'm not sure if it was originally installed as an OEM version or a retail copy. The OS is about three years old, and I haven't reinstalled it. Hardware details include a Ryzen 5 5600X, GTX 1660, and a Prime B450-Plus power supply. The motherboard is Prime B450-Plus.
My monitors have resolutions of 1080x1920 (portrait), 1920x1080 (landscape), and 1050x1680 (portrait). I've tried swapping screens in the DP ports – the main display stays at 144Hz, while the others run at 60Hz. When I open Task Manager, usage spikes during League of Legends and when selecting champions.
Please help me figure out what's going on or let me know if I should revert to using two screens. Thanks!
Ensure drivers are reinstalled for each monitor and GPU. Check if the third monitor triggers the controller utility download automatically.
Thanks for the feedback! I've completed the task, though the problem persists.
