[demy1hermu2]

I've try to search on google, but it still not working

So my 2nd motior is using VGA port (the blue one), and my pc only has that Dv port left on graphic card ..
and i bought the VGA TO DV port and i plugged it in to my graphic card (1060 GB Nvidia) and its not working (monitor is not on)

i've checked the driver update its the latest version , check on the bios menu for double monitor not found any

i tried to plug to the other VGA port i have on my pc (which from my mobo) the monitor is on, but black screen and not dtected

I also try the VGA to HDMI and i use my main monitor port (HDMI) and it work,

AMD 7 1700
Nvidia 1600 6gb
MSI b350m Bazooka

There are a couple of possibilities that I can think of. First in Windows Display, select your monitor as the Primary Monitor. Identify your TV as the secondary monitor. Then go to Multiple Displays and select Duplicate these Displays. Then go to Display Properties (under Multiple Displays) and set the resolution and refresh rate.

The other possibility is the graphics driver. Windows 10 updates graphics drivers periodically. The windows drivers are crap. There drivers will not allow multiple monitors. This happens to me as well. When the driver gets updated, my own second monitor goes black. To correct it, download and install the graphics driver from geoforce.com.

Once the driver downloads select a drive location to unzip the driver to. Then choose custom installation with clean install and hit return.

the problem is my windows cant detect any second monitor, so you mean i've to uninstal the previous one, and instal the new one from the website ??

Hi

The picture shows what looks like a simple non active connector
not a DVI to VGA active converter
It may work on a GTX 960 or other 900 or earlier GPU with DVI-I

but GTX1xxx GPU dont have analogue VGA output

so an active converter is needed to connect to a LCD screen which only has VGA in

Connect your HDMI cable from your graphics card to your TV, connect the monitor to one of the other graphics card ports. If you have an old monitor that only has a VGA port, then use a DVI TO VGA adapter.

For the TV, only a HDMI connection is going to work

Here is an example

Have you updated the driver using http://www.geforce.com/drivers ? Did you uninstall the previous graphics driver before updating it?

You can remove the graphics card and then use the video outputs on the motherboard to test the connections from your PC to TV & Monitor.

The motherboard video outputs are disabled when a graphics card is installed.

What monitor are you using?
