Dec 20, 2016 at 12:47 comment added Shadur-don't-feed-the-AI Another check in linux would be to run glxinfo and look for anything suspicious (Lot of output tho) or just run something that requires 3D acceleration. Maybe the reason it's still working is because it's using safe fallbacks?

Dec 17, 2016 at 15:48 comment added Ryan @harrymc The Java tool recommends nvidia.com/download/driverResults.aspx/113448/en-us, which I've already tried. Not sure what to look for in Event Viewer but the only suspicious item I found: The description for Event ID 14 from source nvlddmkm cannot be found. Either the component that raises this event is not installed on your local computer or the installation is corrupted. You can install or repair the component on the local computer.
Dec 17, 2016 at 15:04 comment added harrymc You wouldn't be the first to be in that situation. The drivers are different, or the Linux driver ignores the error. Have you looked for interesting errors in the Event Viewer?
Dec 17, 2016 at 15:00 comment added Ryan @harrymc Thanks but how could it possibly be a hardware failure if the hardware currently works in Ubuntu?
Dec 17, 2016 at 14:57 comment added harrymc Go to the page NVIDIA Driver Downloads, click Graphics Drivers, then let Nvidia suggest a driver (requires Java or Internet Explorer). If the suggested driver does not work, then the problem is hardware. You might also look for a BIOS update.

Dec 15, 2016 at 0:24 comment added Ryan @Ramhound Yes, of course. 😊 (The 2 monitors are plugged into the GTX 970, and both work when I boot into Ubuntu.)
Dec 14, 2016 at 23:03 comment added Ramhound You have the monitor plugged into the GTX 970 instead of the port on the motherboard which is connected to your Intel iGPU?

improved title, cleaned up list of what I've tried and have not
Dec 14, 2016 at 22:00 history edited Ryan CC BY-SA 3.0
also tried resetting Windows
Dec 14, 2016 at 20:22 history edited Ryan CC BY-SA 3.0
added Problem Code and Status
Dec 14, 2016 at 19:59 comment added Ryan @music2myear Yes, I tried all of that.
Dec 14, 2016 at 19:27 comment added music2myear Have you tried deleting the card from your Device Manager and uninstalling all the software for it, then rebooting and letting Windows reinstall everything before updating?
Dec 14, 2016 at 18:12 comment added Ryan @magicandre1981 Interesting update: I downloaded Ubuntu 16.04.1 LTS onto a bootable USB drive and booted into that. Both monitors immediately worked at full 1920x1080 resolution. So the hardware seems functional! My remaining challenge is to figure out why it stopped working within Windows.

Added something else I tried (proved that the graphics card and monitors work in Ubuntu)
Dec 14, 2016 at 5:40 comment added magicandre1981 also put the GPU into a different PCIe x16 slot . also check if your PSU supports the required power of the GPU.
Dec 14, 2016 at 5:33 comment added magicandre1981 also try older drivers, not the latest one: nvidia.com/Download/Find.aspx?lang=en-us
