Second monitor goes black when joined on Ubuntu 18.04.2 LTS
I have a MSU GE63VR 7RE (Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-7700HQ CPU @ 2.80GHz) and a 24" Acer monitor
When I start Ubuntu, the second monitor is black but I can see the mouse arrow.
When I turn the monitor off and on it is mirrored but the picture is frozen, the mouse appears on the second screen but the picture does not update.
When I attempt to join the second screen goes blank.
I find it almost impossible to work with one screen, any idea where I can start troubleshooting?

I reinstalled ubuntu but this time selected the download option and also the third part install option.
After booting, I followed the guide here :
https://linuxconfig.org/how-to-install-the-nvidia-drivers-on-ubuntu-18-04-bionic-beaver-linux
As you can see the guide is out of date, however ignoring that, I followed guide and ran
ubuntu-drivers devices
sudo ubuntu-drivers autoinstall
The second monitor is now working perfectly.
