DUAL MONITOR PROBLEM- second monitor not working!
Hello, I'm new to the forum! Thanks for building this forum!
Here is my problem:
I have a "regular" Intel Graphics card on my HP desktop. It has a VGA port and a DVI port.
When I connect one monitor (a VIZIO 26" LED/LCD TV) to the VGA port, everthing is good...
I tried to connect a second monitor (the same TV model) but it didn't work, here's what happened:
I connected a DVI to VGA adapter into the DVI slot on the PC, then a VGA cable to the VGA port on the TV and it wouldn't even detect it!
The next thing I tried is I connected a DVI cable to the DVI port on the PC and on the other end I used a DVI to HDMI adapter and connected it to the HDMI port on the TV...well NOW the second monitor is detected in the "change display" options where you "extend" the view, BUT, my second monitor keeps shutting off (it's on PC input) automatically because it doesn't get a "signal" from the PC?
I tried to "extend" the monitor, but nothing happens! I only have a blue screen that says "no siganl" on the second monitor!
Does anyone have any idea what I can do!? Will I need another graphics card!?
Any insight is truly appreciated as I am not very versed in technology!
Thanks for your time and best regards!
Beto.
