    Primary Monitor fails to turn on


    I leave my computer on after a trip to Virginia, computer may/may not be in sleep mode (It never worked. Set to a 3-hour inactivity schedule), came home, and only my secondary monitor turns on from sleep. The first fails to wake from sleep (After turning on).
    GCard: NVidia GeForce GTX 560, most recent Driver (Has happened even before this version update).
    Primary Monitor: Acer S200HL LCD monitor.

    This has previously happened (Except Secondary Monitor didn't turn on. I probably had not played around with it enough to wake up), and restarting my computer is the only viable fix. Previously, I could not turn on my computer with two screens without a problem. The Windows Screen would load up fine, but when I get to the Login Screen, it blacks out.

    Unsure if I asked in the wrong spot. Please let me know if I did.

    Deleters, welcome to SF.
    I'm not a fan of any sleep mode or forced turn off modes other than with my UPS in battery mode. That being said I use a screen saver and never let my rig sleep but that's me. I turn my rig off if I plan to be away any longer than 30 minutes as the boot time and program load time with my SSD is so fast. I would say set your power settings to never sleep and never turn displays off. Then if you want as you want away for a longer time then just turn power off at the monitors and let the PC stay powered at idle.

    Thanks for the reply.
    My computer's sleep cycle is supposed to be set at 3 hours. It usually feels like my computer's never on sleep mode. I have the displays turn off after 30 minutes (sometimes it never turns off), and it wakes from that perfectly.
