Windows 7 "forgets" second monitor upon reboot (fine upon driver install)

[PantsMasterson]

I have a Gigabyte z77x-ud3h motherboard with onboard Intel graphics. I have updated the graphics drivers both via the Gigabyte motherboard support page AND the Intel support page (current driver 9.18.10.3165).

If I *install* or *reinstall* the video driver, Windows 7 will recognize my second monitor without issue. It is also recognized in BIOS setup and in Ubuntu.

When I *reboot* Windows 7, however, it defaults to a single monitor. It will not recognize the second monitor. If I try to detect displays, it says "display not detected."

I need Windows 7 to retain my driver settings after reboot. How is this done?

I feel obliged to say all my drivers are up to date and my monitors are properly configured. This is not an outdated driver issue.

Have you check in bios, a parameters for INIT Display First and other things about Display or Monitor...

Check with your manual...

Have you plugged your two Monitor on the discrete graphic card... or One on the back panel of mobo and other on the graphic card...

So give us a complete configuration about your material... like PSU, cpu, monitor, etc...
