Hi,
I have a huge issue with my current system. I am using three monitors with the geforce 1050 ti and I have experience multiple issues (either with a fresh install or an old install):
- after about 10 sec of inactivity the screens turns off and on again
- when they are turning back on, the display connected to dvi port is positioned perfectly on top of the main screen which is the next screen to the left
- the turning off an on is going for 10 minutes when the lock screen appears and continue indefinitely
It is quiet unusable as how it is because I cannot read something longer for 10 seconds without moving the mouse. I mitigated the issue with caffeine but that is just a band aid.
Could someone help me a bit where to head with the investigation and what to check? I suspect some nvidia ■■■■■■■■ since my other machine a hp mini with intel and default driver are behaving much more stable (although that sometimes refuses to go to suspend mode but that is another story)
