  1. Does not recognize second monitor


    Hello. so yesterday my both monitors ware working just fine, I turned my computer off for the night since it's been on for like some 4 days. So i turned my pc back on and they started up how they should, but instead of having 2 monitors it just changed the resolution to 3286x768. My main monitor is 1920x1080 my other one is 1366x768. It doesn't show any other monitor and stuff, when I press detect it shows no monitors detected. ( http://prntscr.com/pny5m7 | http://prntscr.com/pny5w9 ) I haven't changed the ports of the displays or anything, for my other monitor I use an HDMI converter since it has VGA, I updated my graphics card ( amd rx 570 OC ) and on the AMD settings it also does not show my other monitor ( http://prntscr.com/pny7ce ). Also when I press windows key + P I cant press anything.

    I was gonna try updating my windows 10 but instead it shows http://prntscr.com/pny7n3 .

    ( windows 10 pro )


    Any help would be appreciated! ( I have no idea what topic this should be so sorry )

    :)

    windows not recognizing second monitor

    Hello,

    Windows may not recognize another external display device if the display drivers are outdated, or that the monitor is turned off or not plugged in correctly, etc. For us to isolate the issue in connecting a second monitor in Windows 10, kindly respond to
    the questions below:

    • Have you made any significant changes to your device prior to the issue?
    • Did the second monitor work before?
    • Have you tried using the monitor to a different computer?
    • What happens if you disconnect your primary monitor and connect the second monitor to make it the main monitor?

    We look forward to your response.

    Note: The above steps holds good for Windows 10 as well.

    I hope this information is helpful.

  4. Does not recognize second monitor

    Issues while installing a second monitor in Windows 10

    Really? I get a canned answer and nothing else? I posted that I had tried everything that I could find posted online. I did read the post that Andre suggested multiple times prior to posting this request for help. None of it helped.

    My computer does not recognize that there is a second monitor is plugged in. The small step of changing the settings so I can put stuff on the second monitor ISN'T the issue. I am not that dumb. in the device manager there is only the single monitor listed
    at one point there was a unknown device listed but my computer did not know if it was a monitor or a printer.

    There has to be someone out there that knows how to fix this

    Please Help
