  1. Problems with second monitor with HDMI to DisplayPort converter


    Hi, I have a problem with my computer trying to use a second monitor. I have a RX6650 xt and I'm trying to use a second monitor using a HDMI to DisplayPort converter. The monitor shows de BIOS image when de pc starts and even shows the BIOS setup but when Windows initiate it says that don't have a HDMI input and goes black. Sometimes I touch and move the converter and the pc recognize the monitor but only for a few seconds and then goes black again. I have the latest drivers and updates on Windows and AMD software adrenaline edition. Until now I've tried everything that I found on internet, re

  2. Monitor is not working with DisplayPort to HDMI adapter

    I have a HP EliteDisplay E222 and it is not able to recieve signals using a HDMI to DisplayPort adapter. I have tried plugging in the DisplayPort side of the adapter into my computer and into my graphics card and both of them give me no signal and that makes
    me think it is the monitors issue. However, when I plug the current monitor I am using into the HDMI side of the adapter (when the DisplayPort side of the adapter is connected to my computer) I also get no signal.

    I have confirmed that the adapter works on my other computer but I just can not find out why it is not working on my main one.

    I have tried:

    1. Letting windows pick graphic card drivers (RX 570)
    2. Installing the latest drivers
    3. Taking the power cable out of my second monitor for one minute
    4. Resetting the monitor
    5. Turning off the power saving setting in the monitor
    6. Turning power mode to high performance in Windows 10

    Unfortunately my current monitor has no DisplayPort port. If it did, I could of connected the DisplayPort side of the adapter to it to determine if the graphic card is the problem or if the monitor is.

    Monitor Recommendation for Dual Monitor with Displayport, HDMI, DVI

    To go from HDMI on computer to DisplayPort on monitor, you need a powered adapter such as this:
    Amazon.com: HDMI to DisplayPort Converter Adapter Cable with USB Power,QGeeM 4K x 2K HDMI to DP Adaptor for HDMI Equipped Systems,Compliant with VESA Dual-Mode DisplayPort 1.2, HDMI 1.4 and HDCP: Electronics

    The USB-C on your XPS 15 9550 is the DisplayPort. If you want dual external monitors on the XPS 15 9550, the best combination is 1 monitor with HDMI and one monitor with DisplayPort. The HDMI monitor gets connected to the HDMI port on the computer with a simple HDMI cable. The DisplayPort monitor gets connected to the USB-C port on the computer with a USB-C to DisplayPort cable:

    Amazon.com: Fixget USB C to DisplayPort Cable (5.49ft/1.8m), [email protected] USB 3.1 Type C (Thunderbolt 3 Compatible) to DP Cable for 2016 MacBook Pro, MacBook 12, ChromeBook Pixel, Samsung Galaxy S8/S8 Plus: Electronics

    If you have two external monitors with HDMI, then one goes HDMI to HDMI with the simple cable, and the other goes to the USB-C port on the computer with either a USB-C to HDMI adapter, or USB-C to HDMI cable:

    Amazon.com: USB C to HDMI, CableCreation USB 3.1 Type C to HDMI 4K Hub Adapter (Thunderbolt 3), DP Alt Mode, Male to Female, Compatible MacBook Pro/Chromebook Pixel/Dell XPS 13/Yoga 920/Samsung Note S9,S8, White: Electronics

    Amazon.com: Aibocn USB C to HDMI Cable, Type C (Thunderbolt 3 Compatible) to HDMI 4K Cable for MacBook Pro, Surface Book 2, iMac, Galaxy S9/S8/Note 8, Dell XPS 13/15, Pixelbook and More - 6.5FT/2m: Electronics

    The only difficult connection would be to connect a DisplayPort monitor to the HDMI connection on the computer, you don't want to do that.

    Problems with second monitor with HDMI to DisplayPort converter

    HDMI cable not detected by computer

    I want to connect to a monitor or TV with HDMI. No signal to either. Monitor says "no signal coming from your computer".

    I have tried with no success:

    • HDMI directly into Nvidia 980 HDMI slot
    • HDMI directly into motherboard slot, Intel i6700k with integrated graphics
    • HDMI indirectly into HDMI(female)-to-Displayport(male) adapter, into Nvidia 980 Displayport slots
    I have verified:

    • Cable plugged into second computer, connected fine to monitor and TV
    • Tried different HDMI cable, same results on both computers
    • Displayport slots on Nvidia 980 work on monitor with DP-mDP cable
    • Both monitor and TV are 4k. Output is 4k on other computer, and 4k using Displayport on this computer.
    • Used newest graphics driver for Nvidia 980
    • Used old graphics driver (2020) for Nvidia 980
    All cases, other computer connected successfully and this computer received "no signal"

    Other than the hardware checks and the driver checks, I am not sure what other steps I should try.

    Since it applies to both Nvidia 980 and motherboard, and since Displayport works but HDMI through Displayport doesn't work, I feel like there is some issue in the computer working with HDMI signals.

    Thanks, Ahmad
