Hey Tom's forum: I come to you after an exhaustive session of debugging the issue described. Normally I'm the guy people come to with these questions, but I'm at a loss. I will describe in more detail now:
I have one AsusVG248 connected direct to video card via DVI. I have another monitor Asus246H that's plugged into the video card using HDMI.
One day, without provocation, the HDMI connected monitor did not turn on after booting. When I went to windows and hit detect monitors, both turned black. The computer does not shut down or crash. From this state, if I unplug the hdmi monitor the DVI one will turn back on.
To make things even more strange, I swapped inputs for both monitors. I plugged the HDMI into the 248 and the DVI into the 246, and they both worked! Then I plugged them back into their original configurations, and the same problem persists!
I'm honestly at a loss. I've swapped out the video card, same problem. I've swapped out the cables, same problem.
Drivers are up to date... Any ideas my friends?
