Question unable to set up dual monitors

[GeorgePrior_]

I normally have one monitor set up with a hdmi and recently I have decided to get another monitor. However, when I connect the second monitor using a DVI to DVI cable it causes the HDMI monitor to display a black screen and there is also no display from the DVI monitor.

Any help would be appreciated.

edit:

Nothing happens when I click win + P.

specs:

OS: windows 10 home
mb: GA-78LMT-USB3
gpu: zotac gtx 1050ti 8gb oc - has 1x HDMI, 1x DVI and 1x DP slots.

also, when I insert the DVI cable the hdmi display goes black even if the DVI cable is not connected to another monitor.

Update your post to include full system hardware specs and OS.

What do you see when you press "WIN" + "P"
