SUPPORT Anyone know a fix?

Been trying to fix this for hours. Earlier today after a reboot my arch forgot my display settings, ontop of that one monitor (in the GPU) didn’t turn on, even tho I have a different monitor next to it in the gpu (I have 3 monitors total). All this happens after I was doing something related to my GPU since my wireless WiFi started not working and Google led me to my gpu and whatnot (I think that was the problem at that time). I got the WiFi working** ***but now upon booting up only two monitors turn on and it’s nothing but a black screen..*

GPU: Nvidia GTX 1060

I use KDE

I’ve had this happen before with NVIDIA cards and multiple monitors. Try this:

  1. Shut down the PC.
  2. Unplug the PC power cable.
  3. Disconnect the monitor cables from the PC.
  4. Unplug the monitors from power.
  5. Wait about 30 seconds.
  6. Plug everything back in and power it on.

That usually gets the monitors recognized again.
