Thanks for the response. I updated my BIOS shortly after posting this
bug report, but it made no difference whatsoever everything was still as
it was before.

The output to that command is:

Title:
  Screen goes black or flashes with Dual Monitors when certain apps are
  opened.

Status in xorg package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  This has been going on for a while, but only seems to occur on dual
  monitors and when certain applications are opened. Previously the
  screen would go black and then reappear and be fine. Now the screen
  either goes black and does not come back until one of the monitors is
  removed or it flashes on and off like it is trying and re-trying to
  set the resolution but failing. This goes on until I unplug a monitor.

  Applications that cause this behaviour range from Viber Desktop to
  Wine programs through to System Settings and Totem Video Player (in
  this example in the bug) but it can be random, sometimes but not
  always do they cause this behaviour. Just to clarify, this does not
  happen with the laptop screen, only when external dual monitors are
  used.
