DVI-I to DVI-D adaptor doesn't work.

For some reason i decited to connect my older monitor just as a spare screen that while playing I could browse as well. I have 2 adaptors DVI-I to DVI-D and DVI-I to HDMI none of them works. is there is any solution? Monitor it self works fine on other pc which have dvi-i conection but on my gpu wount work its r9 290. Maybe I should look trough settings or something? By the way those adaptors works on my other monitor because thats the 1st thing I did.

as the adapters work on the other monitor & old monitor works on other pc then problem points to your videocard. the monitor that you are using to post here, what connection are you using as in vga, dvi or hdmi?

i just noticed that monitor works when I am in bios and when loading windows once it comes to the point when i need to enter my password monitor stoped working. The one doesn't display for me is with dvi-i cable and and its not removable.

 

[ffg7]

what do you mean by "its not removable" as in the dvi port is part of the monitor itself? as that monitor works til login points to driver issue.

 

[911shithappens]

monitors original connection is dvi-i i.

 

[911shithappens]

if its a driver than what you mean I should reinstall my video drivers?

You may need to set up your displays using Catalyst Control Center (if using AMD Catalyst) or Radeon Settings (if using AMD Radeon Software Crimson Edition).

I am using Crimson Edition but I cant find any setting for other monitor it is simply just not detected.

One explanation would be that the monitor actually requires analog signal thru the DVI-I.

You didn't mention the model of your GPU (or the monitor, for that matter...), but just quickly checking one vendor's site, I found a R9 290 that has *no* analog capabilities. (https://www.asus.com/Graphics-Cards/R9290DC2OC4GD5/specifications/). Connecting an analog monitor to such a GPU would require an active adapter.

Remember, this is all speculation, since you didn't give all the information.

I am using Crimson Edition but I cant find any setting for other monitor it is simply just not detected.

The fact that it works in BIOS would indicate that it's a settings problem within Windows (Radeon settings).

It should be in: Radeon Settings -> Display. Do you see multiple displays listed there?

 

[911shithappens]

no just 1 :/

Are you on Windows 10? Just spent a while googling and came up with this: Press Win + P, select "Extend".

 

[911shithappens]
