    PC does not boot correctly when using 2 monitors


    Hello, I have 2 monitors and when I boot up my PC while both are connected it only flashes the Windows lockscreen on the main monitor before both go black. The motherboard displays a solid green on the LED.Additional ínfo:Both monitors work flawlessly when only on of them is connected on startup.Plugging in the second monitor after the lockscreen is already visible on the first does not cause any issues.Unplugging the second monitor when the green LED is already active does not resolve the issue.Both monitors are plugged into the graphics card.CPU: AMD Ryzen 5 7500F 6-CoreGPU: XFX Speedster Qi

    :)

  3. Pc seems to boot fine, but no signal to screen {help}

    Hi I just built a new pc with these specs:
    • AMD Athlon X2 340 3.2G FM2
    • 1 TB caviar blue 7200rpm hdd
    • MSI A78M-E35 Mobo
    • 2 4Gb G.SKILL Ripjaws X DDR3
    • ASUS 24X DVD Burner
    • NZXT source 210 case
    • 2 extra cool master sickle flow case fans
    • corsair cx 430watt psu
    For some reason the pc boots fine, all the fans are working including the cpu and and the dvd drive but nothing shows on my monitor. I have checked all my wiring countless times to make sure everything is put correctly. I have tried swapping out the memory, with and without the hdd plugged in. I have tried using the dvi, vga, and hdmi ports but still no dsiplay on monitor. The monitor works completely fine with my other pc. I really don't know what else t0 try.
    Any suggestions?

    2. A new Windows will open. From there, you can just simply switch monitor 1 to monitor 2.

    3. Restart after applying all the changes on your PC.
