Hello,
 
Last week I installed a GTX750 Ti. I am going to use a 34" monitor in the near future via Displayport but at this moment I have 2 displays connected:
1 via DVI, 1 via HDMI.
 
Now and then both displays stay black. The PC is awake but the monitors stay black.
 
What did I do so far:
- Installed the latest driver from Nvidia site (365.19)
- Installed the latest driver from EVGA site (365.10)
 
No result. Sometimes the displays wake up correctly, sometimes they stay black. A reboot is the only option at that moment.
Any idea how to solve this problem? Is something wrong with my card?

Just turn your monitors off when not using them. Disable sleep & standby. Problem solved.

Thanks for your response but this is not a solution. This is a workaround. I need to know if something is wrong with my card or with something else.

It could be a solution to some people. Try driver 347.88 to see if it helps fix the problem. 347.88 will work with windows 10. Make sure you do a clean install when installing driver 347.88 too. Instructions on how to perform a clean install can be found here.

Thank you for your suggestions. At this moment I removed all Nvidia related items from the control panel and let Windows 10 install it's driver.
So far the monitors wake up every time I tried. What's wrong with the drivers or it's settings?
What makes you think the 347.88 driver works better in my situation then the latest version? To be clear, every time I switched the driver I used the clean install option.

Nvidia has been having a lot of trouble with their drivers lately. 347.88 is known stable driver.
