AMD RADEON 5450 - Issues with using multiple monitors
Hi,
I have a HP Pavillion Slimline -S5311 running OS Windows 7 (Home Premium).
I had a single Monitor connected via the standard VGA Connection (VGA to VGA) which was working OK.
I installed a AMD RADEON 5450 card to try and use multiple monitors.
This allowed me to connect 2 Montiors:
Monitor 1 = DCI (AMD Radeon 540 Card) to VGA
Monitor 2 = VGA (Original PC Connection) to VGA
This was working OK, but recently the Monitor 2 (VGA to VGA) stopped working.
I have tried to trouble shoot this issue including changing cables and monitors but can not get 2 monitors working at the same time.
I found the VGA connection will now only work if I disconnect the AMD RADEON Card.
When I use the AMD Radeon Card, the VGA Connectionn will not work.
Has the Radeon Card burned out (approx 10 months old).
Also, I have tried to use the HDMI port from the AMD Radeon Card (HDMI to VGA) but this does not work either..I am assuming I will need a HDMI to DCI cable ?
Thanks
