Need Help Setting Up Dual Monitors on My PC

-

Hey everyone! I’m struggling to set up dual monitors on my PC and I’m not sure if it’s even possible. My main monitor is working fine with DisplayPort, but my second monitor, which is connected via HDMI, isn’t being detected at all. I have an NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1650 GPU and an AMD B40M Mortar Max motherboard. I suspect it could be an issue with the second monitor too since the input settings seem off, and I can’t access the menu when it says ‘no signal.’ I’ve read that my GPU should support dual monitors, but I’m at a loss for what to do. Any advice would really be appreciated!

Have you checked if both cables are plugged directly into your GPU? Sometimes they’re plugged into the motherboard by mistake!

Yeah, I made sure to plug it into the GPU, not the motherboard, so that’s not the issue.

Try switching the HDMI cable over to the working monitor and the DisplayPort to the second one. It could help to determine if the HDMI port or cable might be the problem!

I can’t really swap them since the second monitor only has HDMI and VGA outputs!
