Hello community and welcome to my first post (sorry If I miss something already),

to help you further more first the component list:

OS: Win 7 SP1 64-Bit
CPU:: Intel Core i5 6600k
Motherboard: ASRock Fatal1ty z170 gaming k4
graphic card: Nvidia GeForce GTX 1070 8GB VRAM
RAM: 16 GB DDR4

first monitor (in usage): BenQ XL2411Z 24"
second monitor (tried to get in usage): Samsung Synchmaster 226 BW 22"

HDD/SSD won't be necessary I think (correct me If I'm wrong!)


------------------
Problem:

I bought a complete new computer about a week ago. Since yesterday I try to connect my second monitor, but the problem is that my graphic card only got ONE Slot for my monitor. The other one is on my motherboard and can't detect my monitor which is plugged in on the DVI slot on my mainboard.
And by that I tried to look up at UEFI, if there was something to activate. I found nothing.
My driver of the graphic card is the latest (nvidia driver 375.70)

What can I do in order to get my motherboard detecting my second monitor?



Thanks in forward to read this and helping me
