Windows 10: Extra monitor not detected

Extra (2nds) monitor not detected

plugged id a working Acer G185H VGA LCD 18' monitor with DVI adapter to my new system
and the display reads Cable not connected
Yet my TV that's plugged in via HDMI works fine



Tried win+P,Tried my nvidia adapters settings and normal Windows display and it's not being detected

Ideas? (all drivers are current)

Extra Screens

I have a Surface laptop that will not recognise a extra monitor display

It will not detect . operating on windows 10 .

 

Display being shown on wrong screen since Win 10

So I must've set myself up for failure when I decided to upgrade to windows 10 without unplugging my extra monitor because after the upgrade nothing will show up on my laptop screen only the extra monitor. Even if I unplug the monitor my laptop screen
stays blank. When I go to the display settings it does not detect any extra monitors it only shows 1. I tried restarting without the extra monitor plugged in but it still stayed black. I have no idea how to fix this so any info would be very helpful. When
I restart my computer it shows the initial loading screen and then goes black, sound is also coming through my laptop just fine.

 

Your system specs tell that you have a notebook computer. Usually laptops and notebooks can only use one external display at any given time, maximum two displays one of them being the laptop / notebook display.

Short: you cannot use two external displays at the same time. Disconnect the HDMI / TV if you want to use DVI / VGA display.

 

that was my old system info... I just updated it on my profile and below

Mother Board - 990FXA GAMING (AMD 990FX & SB950 Chipset)
Processor - AMD FX-9590 Eight-Core Processor

Video Card - NVIDIA GeForce GTX 970
RAM - 32GB

 

Are you sure the DVI output is DVI-I or only DVI-D
Did you check the adapter, just in case it's defective
What brand and model of video card? assembled or reference card

 

i have an adapter of each *Wink niter works
