Windows 10: Can't connect to external screens

Hello.I am having trouble connecting to external screens from my recently bought ROG G7 laptop computer, which came with Windows 10 home edition.I bought the laptop and a USB 3.0 external monitor and it worked fine for a while, but at a point, the USB screen stopped working. I can't have it be recognized in the display settings and can't extend or duplicate.I thought this would be a driver issue, as I wasn't familiar with USB screens, but after some troubleshooting, I noticed that I can't connect to an external monitor using the HDMI output either.Just a bit of information:-My windows is up to

Laptopc can´t connect to TV

Hi,

Please reply to the questions mentioned below in order to assist you in a better way.

• Are you connecting the PC and TV using a HDMI cable?
• Did you make any changes prior to the issue?

I suggest you to try the steps below and check if it helps.

• First you need a video cable for making the physically connection. For better picture quality, you should connect the computer to the TV using standard VGA ports or via the DVI to HDMI cable provided your TV supports these ports.
• Open the "display settings" in your computer and activate output to the TV screen. You can either mirror content of your computer on the TV or extend the display just like a dual monitor screen.
• Pick up your TV remote and switch to "External Inputs" from the menu. You will need to change the default "Video 1" to a different selection which may be "HDMI 1" or "Video 2" depending on how you have made the connection.

Important: Make sure you connect the cable to the TV before turning on the computer as sometimes it may fail to recognize external display.

You may also need to change the screen resolution of your TV using the Display settings in your Control Panel else the picture may appear distorted.

Please revert if you face any issues with PC not connecting to TV.

 

Cannot connect external screen (VGA to HDMI)

Hi



I am trying to connect an older VGA screen to my fairly new laptop without success.

• the laptop runs on Windows 10
• I have spent ages trying to find a solution here in Support but nothing has worked

Things I have tried

• Update drivers = the drivers are all up-to-date, apparently
• there does not seem to be a trouble-shooter for hardware and devices (one solution suggested in a post)
• The adapter cable is brand new
• All I get on the external screen is: Input not Supported
• Switching off and back on again or restarting had no effect

Is there anything I can do?



Many thanks

 

Overclocking / Undervolting guide for Vega 56 or 64?

Here's a quick laundry list:

List of software to use for overclocking and testing
Examples:
Wattman (and how to find and use it, like an overview, including profiles)
Unigine Valley or Heaven (use this for quick testing while changing settings in Wattman and checking for stability / artifacts) ...just suggesting this
How to monitor cores / mem speeds and temps during testing (I've seen screen overlays, and others using GPUz)
