Display resolutions not being recognized properly

This morning after I installed updates and restarted my computer, I suddenly had an issue where after logging in, one of my 2 displays is locked at 640x480, and sometimes is not displaying at all. Occasionally the second monitor will flash on, saying no signal, and all input/display will hang up for a few seconds. If I try to change either displays’ settings, both screens go black until I restart the PC. I have booted both into windows and a manjaro kde installer to test if this is a hardware issue, and both seem to behave fine. Any help is much appreciated, I don’t really know where to begin with this sort of issue

One monitor is 1920x1080, other is 2560x1440 both 144hz. I have an AMD graphics card running video-linux driver. I am using KDE plasma.

here is the sequence on statup:

  • grub displays as normal
  • Both monitors display the login screen in what seems to be the native resolution
  • the splash screen begins on one screen then freezes and the other screen goes black
  • Eventually the splash screen disappears and one of the monitors shows up as normal
  • sometimes the second monitor comes to life as 640x480
  • changing settings crashes the display

I’ve been running fine on this install for about a year now with no issues like this before. I don’t really know what logs to provide, but here is the output of xrandr -q
