    Windows 10 won't detect second display on DVI, but Ubuntu will


    I am having an issue with my dual-monitor setup in Windows 10. I have an NVIDIA GeForce GTX 650. My dual-monitor setup was working fine, until the computer complained it was overheating. I blew out the CPU and GPU heatsinks with compressed air. Now it will not detect my DVI monitor, but VGA still works. I have tried switching the cable out for a new one, testing the DVI on the monitor with my MacBook, and I have even RMA'd the card back to EVGA. It will still not detect my DVI display.

    But here's the kicker: it works under Xubuntu. I tried booting into my Xubuntu LiveUSB and both monitors work without a hitch. Could it be a driver issue? I'm pretty sure it isn't a hardware problem, since I tested both the cable and the monitor, and even sent the card back to EVGA.

    What's going on?

    :)

    Dual Monitors not working in Windows 10

    <Original Title: Dual Monitors not working>

    I had dual monitor setup that worked no problems with Windows 7, after making the jump to Windows 10 though, the dual monitor setup won't work. It's not that the second monitor doesn't show anything, the problem is that both monitors are displaying the exact
    same thing. Whenever I try to detect a second monitor it says that it didn't detect another display, and I also cannot change my resolution. I have an HP 2210m hooked up with a DVI cable and an RCA TV hooked up with a HDMI cable. Any help is appreciated.

    Second monitor not detected windows 10

    What is particularly strange is that windows 10 detects the second monitor when it is powered off, i.e. when it is only connected by the dvi signal cable. As soon as i plug in the power cord and switch on the second monitor, it disapoears from my display
    settings.

    Huh, that seemed to do the trick! I updated the graphics driver in GeForce Experience and both monitors work without a hitch! Thanks!
