I was just using my TV as a secondary monitor yesterday for Big Picture(I use Ultramon software btw) and now today my PC suddenly stops detecting my secondary monitor. I took a screenshot of what it says

Here's a pic

At first it just shows my main PC monitor and not both, when I press deteect, this happens.

I'm using HDMI connection, I replugged the cable twice. Also it is a 40ft cable. This setup has been working for months and suddenly stopped working today.

most likely an Ultramon Software update related issue or an AMD Radeon HD 7800 series driver related issue

40ft seems quite long for a HDMI cable, maybe it has degraded enough to be an issue, was it expensive?

Try with another cable if you can move temporarily.
