Hi,

I have the following problem, I have external displays running on ports 1+4. For a few weeks now, my second display can no longer be found and my first only works on port 4 instead of 1. I had my GPU in “gaming” mode in between, then set it back to normal and both worked again, but now I have the same problem again, without any change. I disconnected the battery and replaced the USB slots, but it didn’t make any difference.  
I’m running out of ideas.

Thanks for your help
