Hello! I was trying to configure a two monitor setup but I ran into a problem, recently I've bought a DVI monitor to be my primary monitor and use my old VGA monitor as secundary, the problem is, while the computer is booting up, the dvi monitor shows image, but the moment windows starts up, the image on the DVI monitor goes blank. Can someone help me?

Graphics card: AMD Radeon R7 200 Series
AMD Radeon Software Version: 21.5.2
Monitor Interface: DVI-I
PC Interfaces: DVI-D, VGA, HDMI

You might still have the VGA Monitor as your primary monitor under Windows Settings - Display.

Make sure you have the DVI Monitor as your Main Display with the second monitor as "Duplicate Desktop to 1 & 2"

Also you failed to mention your AMD GPU card you have installed and how it is connected to your DVI Monitor.

Are you using a DP/HDMI - DVI Adapter by any chance?

Hello, thanks for answering, I'm using a DVI-D dual link cable to connect the display to the graphics card. Windows doesn't even detect the monitor.

have you checked to make sure your DVI-D cable is good and working correctly?

What is the Make & Model of your GPU card?
