Hiya folks, new here and need some help if at all possible.
I've just bought a 2nd hand desktop to see me through after my old one died and am having massive difficulties with my monitors. I have 3, and only my oldest one (which is also the worst, really dark, 12 years(ish) old, smallest screen) will boot up when my computer does.
The other 2, one of which I want to use but to be honest both are better, will display the screen when it starts to boot with the pc details etc., then go to the "Microsoft Corporation" bit where it has the loading panel bit, and then before hitting my desktop goes "No Signal" on the one I want to use, and "Power save" on the other, and can't be brought back on! Really frustrating to say the least!
However, if I boot up with the rubbish one that works, and then unplug it, detach the svga/vga socket, plug in one of the other monitors (svga/vga first, and then power), the display works? That being said as soon as I shut down it won't start again (see above) and takes a day or so before I can swap it over again to the better monitor? Really confused and really frustrating! I have absolutely no idea how to resolve it! The other two monitors obviously work though won't start up with the computer.
Any help or advice would be massively appreciated!
Many thanks in advance, Craig.
