Apple Event: May 7th at 7 am PT
Hi, Since I got my new Mac Pro, almost every start-up of my mac,my second screen is black, The only thing I can see on it is my mouse pointer. When I push cmd+F1 it mirrors my first screen like it normally would, and then when I het cmd+F1 again it is all normal. I never had any problem with my previous Mac
I got a Mac Pro end 2013 with a 3.5 GHz 6-CoreProcessor and use OS X Yosemite 10.10.3
Any Idea on how to solve this problem?

Try resetting the SMC and NVRAM/PRAM
Intel-based Macs: Resetting the System Management Controller (SMC)

Thanks, but it both didn't help :-(
What monitors do you have and how are then connected?
If you exchange the connections of the two monitors does the problem move to the other monitor?
Try updating to 10.10.4
Thank you. This seems to have solved my problem. Or it was a delayed result of the previous actions on the SMC and NVRAM/PRAM
I now did try other ports also I made the primary monitor (Eizo) my secondary, and the other my primary. After a restart it still worked fin. So I changed it back, and it kept on working fine.
The monitors by the way, are connected by thunderbolt with an thunderbolt/DVI adapter. I got an Eizo CG222W-monitor (2009) and a 20 inch Apple Cinema display (2005). If the problem returns, can it also be that one of the thunderbolt/DVI adapter isn't an official Apple adapter? I could then try to switch these.
If the problem returns I will let you know ;-) If not, thanks once again!
It went well for a while, but now the other monitor starts up blank. The identical problem. I didn't switch the thunderbolt/DVI adapter so that can't be the problem.
I get a black screen on my 2nd screen
