I have problem with dual monitors

I have power mac mid 2012 with ATI Radeon HD 5770 1024MB.

When I turn my computer, both of my monitors (Dell) work great, but when goes into sleep and try turn back on, only one computer monitor works and the other one is just pitch black. When I restart the computer it solves the problem, but I don't want to do that everytime, any ideas why that's happening?

Mac Pro (Mid 2012), OS X Mountain Lion (10.8.5)

See if it's related to this...


It also seems to be related to later OSX versions, like 10.8.x & 10.9.x


The 2012 macs (and later apparently) (also later OSX versions on earlier Macs can do it also), not waking normally from sleep after hours being in sleep. (noted here ...

The sleepimage file still reappears even if never slept. Delete it (hibernate off, etc) - within minutes its back.
