I have been using a multi monitor setup for the past year now and just a few days ago, I sold my GT1030. My main monitor (Dell S2721HN) was connected to the HDMI port of gpu and my second monitor, an old Acer G195HQV connected to the VGA port of my motherboard ( I had enabled Intel HD igpu as well).
It was working well. After I sold it, I used my old gt710 for about 3days and I sold that too today. My old GT710 had a VGA port too so I ran both monitors through my 710. (No Intel hd).
The problem raised when I connected both my monitor to the HDMI and VGA port of my motherboard ( only igpu now, no dgpu ). Windows recognizes my monitor and setups the multi monitor in the settings however I can only see output on my VGA monitor. My HDMI monitor only has a black screen. ( It doesn't even say no HDMI cable). Monitor works fine when I plug it to my laptop HDMI port. Also using a converter, my VGA monitor also shows black screen when connected to the HDMI port.
A broken HDMI port or am I missing something in the software? The HDMI port was working fine a few months ago ( was using my old monitor with an adapter on it) but I did have my other monitor working through a dedicated video card...
