Hi y'all 
Since I've changed my GPU from an AMD R9 290 to an Nvidia GTX1080, my W7 is showing an odd behaviour regarding windows that aren't snapped to a side of the monitor or maximized, ie "floating" like my file explorer. When I shut off my monitor or when it disables the video signal after a few minutes (screen saver) and I then reactivate it, the floating windows are resized to approx. 640x480px and are located in the upper left corner. When the monitor is deactivated, I hear the typical "something disconnected" sound as well as the other sound when it reconnects. I found the following keys to edit in the registry, but my files are named differently (although the subfolders are identical) and it didn't change anything. I know it started occuring after I swapped the GPU, but I uninstalled the drivers with the Disk Driver Uninstaller tool.
How can I stop windows re-positioning after waking from sleep? - Super User
Also, my desktop icons are all messed up after each time the monitor is shut off or in sleep mode. I tried the Nvidia drivers 382.05 and 382.33, changing didn't do anything.
Does anyone have an idea what's going on? System: W7 Ultimate x64, i7 6800k, 32GB DDR4 RAM, GTX 1080, MSI X99a Raider, Asus MG278Q connected via display plort. I'd appreciate any help, I don't really know what to do and I'd like to avoid reinstalling or upgrading to W10 :/
