Windows 10: New Monitor -> Windows Startup not showing anymore

i see the boot screen if i unplug the graphic card and plug the monitor into the motherboard, then the phantom monitor is gone, guess because the real monitor is in its place then, i didnt have any performance issues, but i really want the boot screen on my real monitor somehow. dont know if resetting the motherboard would be any use or installing windows anew

 

I don't think it has anything to do with Windows. The bios screen comes on before Windows takes over. As I said earlier I like having a second monitor connected to my internal graphics. It always seems to work, and I can still navigate if my 970 fails for some reason. If you turn off the surround setting it will show the a screen on each monitor and you can still drag thing from one to the other. You might still be able to go into your bios and turn your internal gpu off if you really just want one screen.

 

iam really really tired of plugging in plugging out stuff *Biggrin do you think turning off the internal graphics of motherboard would fix the problem? i somehow fear that my screen will stay blank forever then

 

Turn it off, I thought it would be anyway. If worst came to worst but it won't, all you'd have to do is pull the CMOS battery out for a bit.
It'll be fine.

edit , you have a dedicated graphic card installed don't you and not relying on onboard graphics ?

 

yes i have my gtx980 installed, could you tell me what options i need to turn off in bios then? ill try to access it by plugging in the monitor into the motherboard instead of the graphic card once more then

 

It depends on the BIOS manufacturer, what options you get. In mine all I can do is set the order it looks in. Onboard, PCIe, PCI. I can only ever use one of the three options at one time. Even then it seems to just auto detect what's plugged in. If I remove my GT 640 the onboard works, plug it back in and it doesn't. Newer motherboards though with hybrid SLI etc can use both at the same time.

 

IGPU Multi-Monitor
Select disable to disable the integrated graphics when an external graphics card is
installed. Select enable to keep the integrated graphics enabled at all times.

 

actually you wont believe it.

the problem is my new soundcard : sound blaster z
the problem occures as long as it is plugged into a pci e slot.

now my question is: why does a soundcard produce a phantom monitopr wtf?? guess that wouldnt have happened on w7

 

Hard to say if that would have happened under 7. For now I'd go to the SoundBlaster web site and make sure it's compatible with 10. If so look for current drivers and load them.

 

l *Some motherboards reserve the PCI Express x16 slots for video cards only. Use a x1 or x4 slot
instead. For more information, consult the documentation of your motherboard. Could be this, from the soundblaster manual.

So you could try this. Put it in PCI E 5




Then go into the bios and set a lower link speed.Set it to a low speed





or even try slot 6

 

actually it was in the bottom slot i dont think this one is reserved for graphic cards..
didnt want to put my graphic card next to the power supply (pcie 6) and i didnt want to put the soundcard (pcie4) next to the graphic card (pcie2) because of the fans didnt want them to reduce the cooling because the soundcard blocks the fans..

 

I'm just about out of any more ideas *Mad

 

Ok had a think, has to go in 1, 3 or 4 .

 

actually my computer stands inside a shitty corner under my desk, its quiet hard to pull it out of there lol..
the only possiblity would be to put the graphic card from pcie 2 to pcie 6... but is it good to put the graphic card directly next to the power supply there is like 1 cm left then? isnt it going to overheat then if i play graphic intense games?

edit: if i put the graphic card into pcie 5 it would block the slot on your picture called "31" i think it is for the motherboard sound, would that cause any problem if i just miss this slot?

 

Can't you just put it in the x1 slot PCIE 4 ?
