@wildwillow thank you for your advice, but the screens are configured as separate displays :/
as i can understand for this behaviour that the source is reset and all the override configurations will be lost when the machine is reboot?@wildwillow Yes, still crashes; though these monitors do not allow 'saving' the input source. It resets as soon as the connection is lost and there is no access to the monitor control menu when there is no input.

As I mentioned in Post#1 some monitors react different when connected to power even though switched off. If the screens are recognised by the BIOS/Initialisation even when powered off it will cause problems at the desktop. You're right about the older monitors that are not so clever, being that they are either on or off.@wildwillow Yes, still crashes; though these monitors do not allow 'saving' the input source. It resets as soon as the connection is lost and there is no access to the monitor control menu when there is no input.

This seems to be true. The DP is a native connector in the framebuffer but it depends on the port layout on the board it is not always the primary connector. A user mentioned that the DP was the port he had to hotplug. That being said it does make a big difference with the monitor being used.users like you with {DP + HDMI} will no doubt have a slight different experience and perhaps better success.
From your IOReg written results it appears that the 4th display patch has enabled the extra connector but Port0x0 shouldn't be an active connector <02 00 00 00> it should be <01 00 00 00>according to the utility IORegistryExplorer, the ports are shown to be
@dreamcatCould you attach your IOReg and config.plist. Remove any variables from your config.plist with regards to S/N - MLB - ROM if you've configured your system to work with iMessage.
How did this work out for you?Removed the DVI patch for port 0x6 (still kept port 0x5 patch for hdmi)
@0 2,000,000 (0x0)
@1 80,000 (0x5 HDMI)
@2 40,000 (0x6 DVI)
@3 1,000,000 (0x0)
Uh sorry I didn't bother to check the 2nd monitor hot-plugging in that situation (when DVI is identified as 40,000 DP). But it certainly booted up into MacOS fine with DVI as the single monitor only. Didn't notice any (*obvious*) issue or anything strange during that brief login session.
