One monitor is fine. The other is flashing.

Hey guys,

I'm having yet another issue with my dual ultrawide monitors. Both run at 2560x0180 each. One is connected via HDMI, the other is by DVI-D to HDMI - Connected to a GTX 960 4GB.

The one connected solely by HDMI is working absolutely fine - no issues.

The other one however, connected via DVI-D for some reason intermittently like every 2-3 mins goes black for like 3 secs then returns the picture and everything is normal again.
I've checked if the cables are inserted properly and they are. Ive uninstalled my NVIDIA drivers and reinstalled them etc. But the second monitor wont stop blanking and returning.

Please help.
I have an i5 4690k 3.5 GHz, Gigabyte Motherboard, 8GB DDR3 RAm and an Asus Strix 4gb GTX 960 and a 500w PSU.

have you swapped cables? does the other monitor now fritz like earlier? is it just the DVI monitor that fritzes?

I've swapped the cables around and now the 1st monitor is blanking and the second is fine?

When the system turns on do both display the boot process? Mine does, I'll assume your does as well, reboot and go into the bios. did fritz follow you there?
do you have a spare DVI cable/adapter you could test?
