Multiple Screens Intermittently Undetect and Redetect

I'm running 3 external monitors on a Lenovo docked laptop. With Windows 8 it was running perfectly. Since upgrading to from Windows 8 to 8.1, at the most inopportune times, randomly and frequently throughout the work day, everyday, all the monitors will cut out, making the disconnected sound. They will briefly, maybe half a second consolidate all the open windows on the laptop with an illuminated screen, then go black and then all the monitors will turn back on, consolidating all the open windows on the one external monitor set as my default main monitor. Then I will continue working, moving all my windows back to where I want them, and it will randomly do it again, usually when I'm concentrating on something important. It's like it knows!

The same thing has happened with an external projector, though not with all projectors.

I have updated Windows, and all the graphics drivers. And my business partner is having the exact same problem, so it's not isolated to my computer.

Any help would be greatly appreciated. Beside reducing work efficiency, it's boiling my blood and given me a strong hate for Windows 8.

I take it back, I made a mistake. It worked perfectly with Windows 7. Windows 8 caused the problem. I was hoping for Windows 8.1 to solve it, but no joy. Do downgrade to Windows 7 I would loose all my data and settings.
