checked everything,the only faulty thing I found was a ram stick not completely in,restarting the pc now

 

Well that's good you found that.

Double check that your bios is registering everything correctly.

 

Now the computer doesnèt detect the second monitor at all.YAY....  :angry:

 

You may need to re-adjust your display settings.

 

and btw at the bottom of the screen it says:safe mode and the backgroud is completely black

 

Safe mode does that.

 

Quick question, what OS are you using? Win 7, 8/8.1, 10?

OK so your system with the issue is a desktop with 2 monitors. the second monitor mirrors the first? and want this or not?

 

Your GPU is not a just a z. Is it an Nvidia or AMD?

 

My first suggestion is to shut the system down and re-seat your connections (unplug and re-plug everything).

You may need to check you wiring inside to make sure nothing came unseated while you where cleaning.

Just to be thorough check everything. (Make sure no dust clots are stuck in a connection, it can cause a short.)

Then power it back on and see what happens.

Try this, unplug one of your monitors > boot up > check your graphics drivers to make sure its up to date.

Try and make sure it boots normally.
