Enabling graphic card without monitor

Vijay,

I was able to get my screen working again by plugging the monitor into the HDMI port on the Nvidia graphic card. This was with a HDMI plug at both ends of the cord. I have to select the specific HDMI port on the monitor that has the Nvidia graphics card
plugged into that port, with the monitor's input buttons. The Nvidia card on my Dell XPS 8900 has a HDMI port and a VGA port and a DVI port. Guess Nvidia built it compatible for all ages of monitors.

The VGA port on the Nvidia graphic card didn't work with an HDMI plug adapter at the monitor end of the cord. Don't know why. This newer monitor doesn't have a VGA port. I hadn't tried using the DVI port on the Nvidia graphic card, since the HDMI port got
things working already. Oddly, the Intel HD graphic card doesn't turn the screen on anymore even though I enabled it in Device Manager, but since the Nvidia works fine I don't need the integrated graphic card at the moment and will figure that out later. The
moral of the story is never disable your Intel HD graphic card. It will leave you in the dark!

thanks again

 

usb monitors using graphics card

Hi isaac177,

Thank you for writing to Microsoft Community Forums.

1. May I know the model number of AOC display monitor?
2. Is this the first time that you are trying to setup the display using HDMI?

You can try to use an adaptor (USB/HDMI or VGA as the card has 3 slots) to connect to monitor. I would also suggest you to get in touch with Nvidia to know more about this as there can be output issues while using adaptors and your Graphic card (GTX
1660 Ti) might not work as expected.

I suggest you to refer this
NVidia support link, and check if that helps.


Regards,

 

graphics card problems

Hi,

Your computer makes a noise or beeps from your internal speaker because it failed to detect the graphics card. What we can suggest is for you to try cleaning your graphics card with a pencil eraser. Here are the steps below:

• Turn your computer off.
• Pull out your video/graphics card.
• Rubbed the cold contacts with soft pencil eraser.
• Connect your video/graphics card back to the computer.

Kindly note that this is just a temporary fix. If the case still continues, I suggest that you contact your graphics card's manufacturer.

Let us know how it goes.
