so i was messing with settings in amd radeon settings program to try and fix my multiple monitor issue.

i then pressed something that said "quick setup eyefinity" and then everything went blank. i had my tv hooked up via hdmi and my 4k monitor hooked up via displayport.

i then restarted the pc but still everything was blank. i then restarted but only had my monitor plugged in and it worked. but several things seemed off, like the bottom toolbar and my firefox browser wasnt displaying properly. i then plugged in my hdmi for the tv and everything went blank again.

i then uninstalled gpu drivers. restarted. reinstalled recent drivers. now everything is still fked up. same issue when i try to hook up my tv via hdmi, everything turns blank. i even got a BSOD with some error message saying something went wrong.

this never happened until i pressed the fking eyefinity button just once and everything went to shit. about to upload a screenshot of d2jsp and how weird it looks now also

There is a guide for DDU on here somewhere. Google it or ask Ghot he probably has the link handy.

DDU Instructions - Nvidia/AMD
1. Get this program, here: https://www.wagnardsoft.com/ ...get the latest version, and save it to your desktop.
2. Get your vid card driver here, use the Manual Search: Nvidia: http://www.geforce.com/drivers ...or AMD: http://support.amd.com/en-us/download ...save this to your desktop.
3. Run DDU (Display Driver Uninstaller) choose: Nvidia or AMD, then choose the "Highly Recommend Option", and just do what it tells you. If it wants to go into "Safe Mode", let it.
4. After it's done and comp has rebooted to normal mode, just double click the Nvidia or AMD driver ( that you saved to your desktop in step #2) ...to install. If it want's to reboot, let it.

I have no idea how eyefinity works. I use an Nvidia card...always have. Anyways...

Left to itself with my vid card hooked to both the Dell monitor and the LG Tv, and just having the Dell monitor check marked...the Nvidia vid card will auto assign the LG TV as primary monitor because it is hooked up with HDMI.
The Dell is hooked up with DVI cable.

Like I said before, up until the GTX 680 it didn't matter, but the Nvidia cards after that (Titan and 780 Ti in my case) automatically set the primary display to whatever device was hooked up to the HDMI cable.
When I swapped cards from the GTX 680 to the Titan, I lost the Dell display (the TV was off at the time).

I called EVGA and said wtf? They said turn on the TV. So I did, and there was my desktop. So I had to use the mouse on the TV to open Nvidia Control Panel, and right click the #2 display (the Dell) and choose: Make Primary
I may have had to reboot, don't remember. But the desktop then showed up on the Dell, with or w/o the TV being on.

The point is...you need to check which display is set to be the Primary display. If it's not the one you want to have the desktop when you boot the computer, then you need to change it.

It looks (from screenshots I Googled about Catalyst Control Center), that you want to check in the "Display Manager" settings.



/e It might be called Desktop Manager as well.

weird shit is happening. so chrome is not affected by the weird color issue. but firefox was. so i updated firefox and still have the issue... lawl

also my windows taskbar is in like "classic" windows vista or xp mode. it looks very basic. and the whole 2nd monitor is not working at all. it causes everything to crash... i have no idea what to do to fix this

yea i think thats only on CCC which is an old version. amd uses "amd radeon settings" now. and even in this there is no option to adjust eyefinity settings. i think its because i dont have my 2nd monior hooked up. because when i plug it in, everything crashes....
