Windows 10: Very Confusing Display Issues

I had a duel monitor setup for my computer:

1x (1920x1080 monitor) My main screen
1x (1280x768 monitor) My second screen
My main screen is HDMI only.
My second screen uses a VGA cable so I have a VGA to HDMI adapter for my HDMI port.


Recently, I tried loading a video game but as it's resolution settings are different to my main screen settings, it changed my resolution. My screens have become so confusingly broken that I cannot fix the issues I'm having.


Firstly, no matter what I try, my computer only recognises one of my screens at a time and because of this, when both screens are active, the resolution is set to this:







I have tried disconnecting the screens, disabling the screens, turning them off, but nothing fixes the issue. Whenever I try to detect a screen it doesn't do anything. I have tried extending my displays, but it makes no difference. When I select second screen only using Windows+P, both monitors disconnect and I have to unplug and plug them back in again to be able to use my computer. When I have both screens connected and my resolution settings are set to (2944x768), I see this:





I'm really struggling with this and have been unable to fix it for a while.

That's what the auto setting will do since you're over the 1333 mark it jumps to the next step which isn't listed or officially supported I assume by that ram.

At this point though I would suggest dropping the multi one step or .5 so that we can get something stable and possibly take the heat issue out of the picture for now.

 

Laptop display question

Confusing statement! You want to change the display on your laptop that died?

Is that correct?

How do you know its the display that's bad?

Just google "how to change display on a acer 5745"

Should get you to step by step instructions. But first make sure its the display that's bad
