SO i have this really weird issue with my RX480 where with one monitor plugged into either HDMI it runs perfectly but the second another monitor is connected to the other HDMI it stops displaying on either monitor. If i unplug either screen it starts displaying again. I have tried everything i can think of to fix it but have come up with nothing.

Have you tried the newer drivers might be an idea to try could be driver related. Whats you psu by the way as could be psu to

All drivers are up to date as of yesterday.

System runs on a 500w PSU which is more than enough by the maths for consumption

Cheap 500 watt or a good 500 watt? It does make a difference.

Makes a huge diffrence a bigger PSU I run a 600w for my system just so I got a buffer as psu lose effiecentcy & degrade over time. I replace at a 2 year cycle had 2 Antec cough within 2 years they not as good as they use to be.

Turns out the issue was the cables from the card to the monitors. Replaced them and have no apparent issues now.
