So, I'm having an issue with my monitors where every single time I update my video card drivers, my screens turn black, and stay black until I force shut down the PC. I run three BenQ XL2430T Monitors. Not only does this happen when I update the video card drivers, but it happens whenever I mess with ANY settings that affect the monitor in the NVIDIA Control Panel, like messing with the Refresh Rate, enabling NVIDIA Surround, or even trying to use Bezel Correction, Bezel Correction I can't even USE because of this issue.

The ONLY way I can fix the issue on updating the video card drivers is by disconnecting 2 monitors, and plugging in an HDMI cord to the only connected monitor at that point, once I do this, the driver updates how it should, then I proceed to plugging back in the other 2 monitors, take the HDMI cord out of the 1'st monitor and replace it with the cord I originally had plugged in.

I've called BenQ, and MSI, both have sent me replacement items, issue still persists.
I've replaced all cords running from the monitors to the GPU. (The cords I use are 3 Display Port Adapters, which I just started to use to see if it would fix the problem, it has not, before this, I used 2 DisplayPorts and one DVI)
I've wiped my computer and started new
I've uninstalled, and reinstalled all drivers.
I've installed older drivers

I've literally done EVERYTHING I could think of, and I've also posted a quick video of what happens, so you guys can see exactly what happens, PLEASE help.
