PC wont detect Monitor

[DavidN744]

Hello there.

I have an HP Pro 3130 desktop PC with a LG monitor 22" and an AOC monitor 22", running windows 7. I would like to have dual monitors, but it will only detect one monitor. The PC was imaged and has had a lot of time spent on it with trying to get this to work from various people.
Drivers, bios etc.

There is a PC (same make and model running the same monitor dual)so I know this works.
But on this system it just wont detect a second monitor. Has anyone any ideas on trying to resolve this without buying a graphics card. I would like to solve the problem, been through lost of drivers etc, still no joy, one is VGA the other is DVI. Any help greatly appreciated. Thanks

Thanks for the quick reply, yes I am afraid so, tried everything from installing drivers to BIOS changes, I would quite like to troubleshoot the issue rather than just mask it. If I cant get it sorted in the end I may buy a graphics card, until then, I will see what people suggest. I think its a driver Issue, screen 2 wont detect at all.

Thanks mate

do both monitors work if you try them separately?

Hi there. Yes both monitors are in full working order, many thanks.

Possible faulty graphics port, this would explain it not working. See below to check.

Have you tried one screen at a time in both ports? (Only one connected)

Also - what are the cables? DVI-DVI and VGA-VGA?

Problem solved - Driver Issue.

Hi There, It was DVI and VGA, installed a driver programme and it went and detected it after getting an Intel driver. Thanks very much for your help. Much appreciated.
