Author Topic: BROCKRAND TECH SUPPRERT: My Dual monitors no work. (Read 666 times)

Tried to set up my dual monitors since I haven't set them up after moving into my new place.
Not sure why, but the secondary monitor (VGA cable connected to the motherboard VGA outlet) doesn't work, but my primary monitor (HDMI cable connected to GPU outlet) does work.

Right now, I can move my mouse to the other screen, but the screen is just plain black.

Here's a screenshot I just took, it shows the second monitor but the screen is blank.

have you tested dual monitors with another monitor? is the monitor on? is the input set to the correct mode?

obviously windows is able to display the other monitor, so it could be an issue with the monitor itself

Ah, I think maybe they both need to be plugged into the GPU?

Must use graphics card outputs only when using a dedicated graphics card in a desktop system.
