The title says it all. On start up, my 2nd display is detected and works, BUT it is EXTREMELY discolored (I'm not exaggerating the extremely part) and then it doesn't display after. I'm able to move different windows into it, but there is no display.

The displays are on extended. My 1st monitor (which I am using) is hooked up with an HDMI cable and my second monitor is hooked up with the HDMI side of the cable connected to the monitor while the DVI side is connected to my PC. I am using an external graphics card which is an R9 280.

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

NOTE: I'm running Windows 10.
NOTE #2: The display worked perfectly fine on my laptop which is running Ubuntu.
