Monitors not being detected attached to usb.
I have the following setup.
Alienware 17 attached to a USB 3.0 docking station from dell (4k). I then have two monitors attached to the docking station. Everything has been working just fine for months.
Tonight I was playing a game and I switched my monitor setup to extend my laptop screen to one of the attached monitors. while playing windows crashed and forced a reboot. Upon reboot none of the monitors attached to the usb are detected. I updated both video drivers (intel, nvidia). I then unhooked and reconnected the docking station not luck either (I did not reinstall the docking station software because I can not find it). To make sure that it is the docking station and the computer I directly attached one monitor via the hdmi cable to the computer and it worked. I think the issue is in the docking station.
Other items attached to the docking station seem to work. Keyboard mouse, speakers etc. During the crash a memory dump was created but I can't open it with anything.
I think a reinstall of the docking station software may work but there are no drivers on dell.
thanks for the help
