Windows 10: I have one hdmi port that works, but the other one doesn't detect anything.

I've had my pc for 3 years and have recently tried to set up dual monitors. My second monitor as well as my original can only connect through one hdmi port i have, even though there is nothing visibly wrong with the second. I also reinstalled my display drivers on top of testing multiple cables. When connecting the second monitor, the pc is unable to detect the second monitor through the hdmi port. I don't think it's a hardware issue, but if someone could clarify that for me it would be greatly appreciated.

HDMI Port Stopped Working

I generally use a second monitor via an HDMI cable while working. However, it stopped working today.

I checked these:

• Windows cannot detect a second monitor when HDMI cable is connected to the second monitor.
• HDMI cable which I use works if another device is connected to the second monitor.
• My computer detects my HDMI-to-VGA converter through HDMI port.

My computer runs Windows 10 Home with latest updates installed.

I suspect this is due to a driver error. How can I fix this problem?

 

Windows doesn`t start. Authomatic repair doesn`t work.

Thanks again!!

I`m sorry I had not noticed that the text on the picture was in spanish. It says that windows has replaced some damaged clusters in "name" file and "directory". Then, at the end "an unspecified error occurred (75736e6a726e6c2e 4f6)".

I`ll do it and I`ll be updating this thread when I have the report.

I ran SeaTools. These are the results:




Does it mean my HDD is useless?

 

What Cable To Use on Monitor with HDMI, and VGA Port on Computer

Some computers have DP (DisplayPort) ports, but no HDMI ports. If this is the case, and the monitor doesn´t have a DP port, use a DP to HDMI converter and a HDMI to HDMi cable.
