Since I have my new computer, I have a very weird problem.
Facts:
New Computer:
- Motherboard: ASRock Z77 Pro 3
- Graphics-card: Asus1GB D5 X EN GTX560 DCII OC/2DI R
- CPU: Intel i5-3570
- Windows 7 64bit
- 500W beQuiet special edition (92% efficiency)
- 8GB 1333MHz DDR3 Corsair RAM (CL9)
- Scythe Mugen 2
- 2 magnetic HDDs + 1 SDD
- 1 DVD-R
Old Computer:
- Motherboard: Asus P55 something
- Graphics-card: Asus1GB D5 X EN GTX560 DCII OC/2DI R
- CPU: Intel i7-870
- Windows 7 64bit
- 550W Corsair
- 8GB 1333MHz DDR3 Corsair RAM (CL9)
- Scythe Mugen 3
- 2 magnetic HDDs + 1 SDD
- 1 DVD-R
On the old computer it worked fine with two monitors. Moving to the new (I took the same Graphics-card) it only works with one. The weird thing I mentioned is: not matter which one. But if I put both there, only one is available. There is no reaction at the start (where normally (at least if I remember correctly) the monitor shortly went from "standby" to "on").
Windows does not recognize a second monitor in the Device Manager.
I have the latest drivers for Motherboard and Graphics-card.
I have the latest BIOS drivers.
I am out of ideas.
Edit: completed computer setup
