First time posting, so i apologize if theres any mistakes if there is.

I have a GTX 1050Ti 4GB Windforce OC with 3 output : HDMI, DisplayPort, and DVI. I connect first monitor to graphic card through a HDMI to HDMI cable, and the second through DP to DP cable.

When I turn the PC on, there is only first monitor show up, the second monitor said that "No DP signal from your device".

I tried plugg the dongle of logitech mouse into second monitor and curious, the mouse work fine.

I have no idea why DisplayPort not working. How to make both monitors work?

Load into windows and enable second monitor.

Every graphics card will have a priority as to which port will be used to display a boot bios image. That can not be changed.

Once in windows, right click on the desktop to access display settings.
Your active display will be in dark blue and the other will be greyed out.
Clicking on identify will tell you which is which.
You can individually set the resolution and other parameters.
Most likely, you will want to pick "extend these displays".
You can drag the images around to match the physical location of the displays.
This is important for extending the displays.

If you see only one, try clicking on the detect button.

if no joy, disconnect one display and verify that just one is detected ok.
Then the other.
Some monitors with multiple inputs will not automatically detect the connection and you must use the display on screen controls to select the proper input.

I found out that monitor with DP doesn't work well even individual. When I connect only one with DP cable, only work when access to bios, said "No DP signal" when boot to windows
