Dual monitor Problems
Hi there,
So the problem as stated in the title is that i can't get both monitors to work.
Specs:
Graphic Card: ATI HD 5850
MB: ASUS m4a79t deluxe
Monitor 1: lg flatron w2253TQ
Monitor 2: panasonic tx-l19x10e
Story:
So my system as been runing for 4.5 years without any major issues (Including both monitors working fine).
One day suddenly the PC didn't POST at all and i went full yolo on understanding the root of the problem (without success). I tried almost everthing during 3 days (testing each hardware piece, checking the connections, reseted the bios, etc...) and somehow when i was about to take the pc to someone with hardware pieces to test it i took a last try to turn it on and...boom the pc cameback to life!!! Don't know how i did it but i did and now the pc is working for more than 1 week without any issues.
The Problem:
Well before this problem i had dual monitor without problems, after the problem the 2nd monitor doesn't give image at all. The second monitor is connected through a Vga to Dvi adpater and i suspected that somehow the cable was the problem because the pc detects the monitor but doesnt display any image on the 2nd monitor (even if i take a PRTSCN both desktops show up in extended mode) so i got my hands on a new VGA cable and... that wasnt the issue... then i tried a hdmi-hdmi cable and nothing... i tried the monitor on a laptop borrowed to a friend and nothing... both dvi ports work fine since monitor 1 works on both slots so it all comes to either the bios settings/software or the monitor simply died ( Althrough the TV still works on the 2nd monitor since it's both TV/PC ).
Next Step:
Well my next step will be trying another monitor on this system but i will not be able to do that for a couple of days and before i give up on the current monitor i want all the help i can get here :)
Thanks in advance for your help!
