Hello,
I recently tried to set up a dual monitor system and I am having a problem that I can't find the answer to. I have an acer V243HQ monitor that I have hooked up to my R9 270 using a DVI-D chord. I've used it for a long time and never had any problems until I hooked up another (older) dell monitor to set up dual screens.
The dell monitor has a VGA chord that I got an adapter for (VGA male to DVI-I dual link). I have connected both to the GPu and when I first start the computer, everything works fine. Both connected, both working as well as I hoped.
But randomly, both screens will now lose signal and won't come back unless I restart the computer.
What could be the problem? The GPU? The adapter? Or something else?
I thought about getting a VGA to HDMI adapter or something but I don't want to buy it unless I know that it might be the adapter that's faulty.
I'd appreciate any help.
Thanks in advance.
