I have a dual monitor set up: main is 1440p and the other is 1080p. AMD 2600 + rx580 + x470 taichi mobo + sumsung SSD 500g + linux mint 19 Tara
Mint 19 works for me pretty well so far. But one thing keeps bugging me.
My computer seems to have problem recovering from inactive/suspend. When I come back to my desktop after a break, my monitor is black in idle mode. Sometimes it recovers when I press any key; sometimes it couldn't. When it fails to awake, only main monitor (1440p) has backlit; the other monitor (1080p) is pitch black. I have to hard-reboot by pressing power button for several seconds.
I mostly use mint for python programming (Pycharm) and web browsing (chrome). Sometimes I use wine for gaming (wow).
I suspect the problem is caused by dual monitor set-up. Any ideas? Thank you.

You need to post some additional info. Open the Terminal, use these commands and post the output:
What is the brand and model numbers of the monitors and how are they connected, including any adapter or switch.
