You should probably replace the surge protector, since it doesn't look like it's doing its job.
Does your motherboard have built-in graphics? The i5-6600K should have built-in graphics, so if the motherboard has a video-out port on its back I/O shield, maybe run your second monitor through that and see what happens?
motherboard has built in graphics but uses a cable i don't have i'll need to borrow one from a buddy tomorrow. but ya i did swap out that surge protector as it's probably not useful anymore.
