Nothing appears after reboot

Hi,

I recently bought a new PC and just installed the latest displaylink drivers, for 2 extra monitors, and everything seems to work fine. Both moniors get correctly detected and i can use them.

I have connected 4 monitors directly to the GPU ( Asus GTX 660 DC2O-2GD5 - through HDMI, DisplayPort, DVI-D and DVI-I) and 2 monitors to USB3 with the displaylink adapters (DVI both). My motherboard is a Gigabyte Z-97 HD3 and the CPU is i5 4570.

The problem i have is: All 6 monitors get detected and function perfectly well, BUT every time i reboot or start after a shut down NOTHING appears on any of the 6 monitors. None of them gets detected UNLESS i manually turn off the PC, and start again. Then all 6 monitors get detected again as normal.

So the question is: Why is it failing to detect any of the monitors when i reboot or start the PC the first time, but if i manually shut it down (when it doesn't detect any) and then start again it detects all of them normally ?
So basically right now, every time i need to reboot i'm always having to turn the PC manually off on the first try and then turned on again.

The issue only comes when having the 2 monitors that go with displaylink connected, otherwise the other 4 that are wth the GPU behave normally, and i can reboot normally.

I'd really appreciate any solution for this issue (even if it's by connecting the 2 extra monitors that go with displaylink directly to the motherboard, which i tried but failed to do...when i activated the onboard GPU on BIOS it then didn't detect the GPU ones).

I had 4 monitors with my old PC (2 with GPU and 2 with displaylink), and never had any problem. I changed the PC now because i wanted a better CPU and GPU and mostly to have 6 monitors (i use this PC for Trading).

Thank you very much
