Asked By GamerDude42 On

Hey everyone, I need some help. My gaming PC crashed unexpectedly while I was playing, and after restarting, it only detects my secondary monitor instead of my main one. I've tried switching the cables and unplugging the secondary monitor, but it didn't fix the issue. After a few more restarts, my main monitor finally shows a display, but it's locked at 720p instead of the usual 1440p resolution. I have a 1440p ultrawide monitor (240Hz) and a 1080p (280Hz) secondary monitor, and everything was working perfectly fine until now. Here are my specs: 7800x3d, 9070xt.

It sounds like your drivers could be corrupted, especially since the crash happened while gaming. I suggest using DDU to completely uninstall your GPU drivers and then reinstall them. Just make sure to download the latest drivers before using DDU!

Could it have happened because I used DDU a couple of days ago?

You might want to try connecting your main monitor directly to the motherboard's video output instead of the GPU. This can help determine if the issue is with the GPU or something else.

I will try that!
