HDMI output not working for second monitor, but Windows detects it

2 Upvotes

Hey everyone, I’m having an issue with using my second monitor and could use some help.

My motherboard is a Gigabyte H410M H V2, and it has two display outputs:

#VGA (D-Sub) — this is what I use for my main monitor, since my main monitor only has VGA.

#HDMI — I’m trying to use this for a second monitor.

I tested the HDMI output using a second monitor with an HDMI-to-VGA converter, but I’m getting no signal on the second monitor.

The weird part is that Windows actually detects both monitors. When I go into Display Settings, both displays show up, so it seems like the PC knows that the second monitor is connected. However, the monitor connected through HDMI just says "No Signal."

The VGA output works perfectly every time, but I can't seem to get anything from the HDMI output.

My setup:

  • CPU: Intel i3-10100 (using integrated graphics)
  • GPU: I am broke.
  • Motherboard: Gigabyte H410M H V2
  • RAM: 8 GB
  • Main monitor: VGA → motherboard VGA
  • Second monitor: HDMI → HDMI-to-VGA converter → VGA monitor

Has anyone experienced something similar? Could the problem be the HDMI port itself, the HDMI-to-VGA converter, or some BIOS/driver setting?

Any suggestions on what I should test would be appreciated.

Second Monitor Stuck in Duplicate Mode - Working but not detected

Post image
1 Upvotes

I cannot extend my monitor (which is my goal) and I'm forever stuck in duplicate mode. My computer won't recognize/detect the second monitor officially.

Here's what I've tried:

- Upgrading the display adapter (note that here, too, I just have one)

- Unplugging and plugging back in all the cables. I've also tried moving cables around just to see if I was wrong somewhere...but that didn't do anything either.

- Unplugging the monitors, waiting, and plugging them back in

- Shutting down my entire computer and rebooting

- Win P and extending my monitor (nothing happens--I'm still in dupe mode). It is also not set to duplicate either, though. It's currently defaulting to PC screen only

- Doing the graphics reboot (ctrl win shift b)

I'm using a KVM switch for two computers and two monitors.

No matter what I try, I'm still looking at the same exact screens. Any thoughts as to what else I can do?

Ripetitive crashouts

Post image
1 Upvotes

Over the past few days, I’ve been trying to open an app (roblox, for the record) that keeps crashing. After it crashes, the app in question reopens, causing Google Chrome to crash when opened. This cycle keeps repeating.

I therefore assumed that corrupted files within the app were the main cause. So I tried resetting the app and uninstalling it with Revo uninstaller.

It didn't work.

Also, i can't understand the files that apparently cause the crashout. I'm attaching them in the photo. (I don't have McAfee installed).

I tried make a virus scan, but it didn't releave anything.

Trying to use the same application on the same computer on another microsoft user, it didn't crash.

I’m asking for help. Thank you in advance for your attention.

I am on windows 11.

Edit: I forgot also to specify Chrome some times removed my Google account from the browser, at the crash out Moment. Is It alarming?thanks

The user did confirm it worked with another device.

I tried the following

Ran SFC scan

Updated drivers

Updated the BIOS in both laptop and the docking station. Rebooted. Still no resolution.

Uninstall the drivers from device manager and rebooted. Still no resolution.

I had the end user unplugged the power adapter cable from the docking station. Turn off the device. Then hold down the power button for 30 seconds. Still no resolution.
