Windows 10: Second monitor "out of range"

Hello, I'm trying to connect a second monitor to my laptop but when I plug the VGA cable my screen black and the second monitor displays "out of range". I'm using a VGA to HDMI conversion cable.


The monitor says "no signal" when the cable isn't connected.


I've already tried changing the resolution of my screen and rebooting my laptop in safe mode.


I also tried to connect the monitor to a different laptop with the VGA-HDMI conversion cable and it works.


How can I fix this?

Second monitor 'out of range'

Hello, I have recently bought a second monitor for my homeoffice to use in a dual monitor set-up. When I connect the second monitor, it is recognised by Windows and set with the right frequency and resolution but the display says, 'out of range'.

More information:

The monitors are AOC G2460PF (144Hz), NEC Multisync EA223WM (60Hz).

My graphics card is a Radeon RX 5700 XT.

I am running Windows 10 (64 bit).

I have the latest version of Windows installed.

I have the latest drivers for the monitors installed.

I have the latest driver for my graphics card installed.

I have checked under 'Display Settings > Advanced Display Settings', if the second monitor has the correct resolution and refresh rate.

Maybe most important: When I boot Windows 10 in safe mode with only the second monitor (the NEC) turned on, the monitor works just fine! When I boot Windows 10 normally with only the second monitor turned on, it show the boot loading screen but then returns
to giving out the 'out of range' message as soon as Windows starts to boot.

I have already tried the following:

Unplug the device and plugging it back in.

Uninstalling and re-installing the drivers for the monitor.

Uninstalling and re-installing the driver for the graphics card.

Any further suggestions as to what I should try?

 

"Out of range" Monitor

Today, after 6 months of using my second monitor (LG 27MK60TM-B) with my ASUS ZenBook (UX330UA-AH55), the LG monitor now reads "out of range." I connected my computer to a different monitor, and the picture is awful, but it works. I tried reinstalling
the graphics card drivers, following several suggestions from other threads, but no luck. Any ideas?
