Hey /g/uys, I'm really at a loss here. So I recently got a new monitor which I've hooked up through a vga cable using a dual link DVI to connect it to my GPU. Problem is I keep getting no signal displayed on my new monitor. I could see it in the device manager under monitors with the proper drive and it's detected by my GPU. I've tried reinstalling my drivers, reinstalling them again, and even resetting my machine. I know it's not a faulty port because I've had a monitor hooked up the exact same way in the past. I've literally been troubleshooting for like 12 hours and I'm out of ideas. I extended the displays and made sure the monitor has the latest driver. What's weird is that when I hook up the monitor and reset the PC my main display says no signal which I believe is because upon reset the VGA monitor is used before the windows login screen i.e I believe even though I still don't get singal through the monitor whatsoever, I can still tell my PC is displaying stuff on there. At this point I think I might revert to 7 because no matter what I try I can't get a signal. Thanks for reading and please, if you have any ideas lemme know. Oh yeah, I also get this message when looking at my display settings.

I posted this in your thread on /v/
What kind of video card are you using and what kind of cable is your working monitor using?
Also do the new monitor work if you unplug the working one?

I got a GTX 970 and my working monitor is plugged in using an HDMI cable. No, the new one does not work if I unplug the old, nor does it work if I choose to just display on the second

I very much doubt it's your OS, that sounds more like a bad connection. If it's not a faulty port on the GPU side, it can be on the monitor side, try booting a Ubuntu LiveCD to rule out the operating system as a cause.

Hmm that rules out what I was thinking then
Go with what this anon said >>58136788
If the new monitor has a port other than VGA I would try using that first to rule out a bad port.

My 970 has a Display port to hdmi on one of my monitors, and a hdmi for the other. Works fucking great, never had a problem.

My GPU has one DV-I and one DV-D port. It has two HDMI ports though. Would a VGA to HDMI adapter work in that case?

But it does not work on either port. No way they are both faulty
