Hi All,
I have a problem getting my second monitor to work and cannot figure at why or what to do about it (I have searched but still no luck). I purchased the below pre-built computer, ACER monitor, and DisplayPort to DVI cable and when I connect the monitor it still reads “no signal”. My primary monitor (same ACER model) is connected DVI to DVI. The GPU has 2 HDMI and 2 Displayports left and the monitor has DVI and VGA. I have a DVI to HDMI adapter that I used with my old desktop, but the case is physically blocking the HDMI adapter to completely fit into the openings in the GPU (which is why I bought the DVI to Displayport adaptor).
I have looked at the GPU settings trying to get it to detect multiple screens but it has not worked. Any suggestions? I would prefer to keep my monitor since I like having two of the same monitors.
Thanks in advance for any suggestions.
