    Dual Monitor. Need help. :(


    Hello !

    I have a custom built computer, have had it for awhile. I decided to recently get a second monitor(it seems to be all the hype!) but I have been running into multiple problems.

    I'm trying to run both, VGA + HDMI(VGA HDMI adapter), with AMD(ccc).
    Yesterday, both were working fine.
    The next day, today, I come home, turn it on, VGA screen is working, HDMI is black, until it gets to desktop, then VGA also goes black. I have to unplug, HDMI, for VGA to work.
    Once I plug in HDMI and my computer detects it, they both go black again..

    I know I have a custom computer, but I have tried holding down FN + every F button. I have tried restarting, unplugging both.... I have read tons of forms, but most are on laptops. I'm running out of ideas.

    Please help!

    Hi welcome to the forum

    it sounds like you might have a faulty adapter. are their any other type of connection for the monitor other than hdmi like dvi

    so monitors have only vga connection that i could find. so you got an hdmi to vga adapter. is that the only other port on the card besides vga?

    Because DVI doesn't carry sound?

    Neither does vga.

    Why do you need it to, no pc speakers ?

    what have you been using for sound all this time ?
