    See if you have a /etc/X11/xorg.conf file and if so try renaming it as a backup with
    Code:
    sudo mv /etc/X11/xorg.conf /etc/X11/xorg.conf.bak
    Now try a restart, or a logout and in again to restart x. You may find that a lack of xorg.conf will allow the system to re-detect all hardware and get you a GUI. If it makes no difference, you can reverse the whole proceedure with
    Code:
    sudo mv /etc/X11/xorg.conf.bak /etc/X11/xorg.conf
    If that does not help, I will have to leave things to others who are better than I am.

    Nope, Still the same. The worst thing is while I keep running both monitors everything works fine, when I plug out 2nd one main one again shows out of range.
    also reversed procedure doesnt work.

    while they are both plugged in go to system > prefernce > monitors and choose a monitor and turn off one monitor from there don't unplug it see what happens ?

    How I can choose them, All I have available is to check Cloned monitors or not. And in window I see Cloned or unknown. So Now I managed to turn off first one and Leave Main one running. But I am afraid to restart now, since most probably I will get the same place where I was before.
