Dual monitor connected to laptop, but second screen is black

Haai everyone,

I have two monitors and both of them works fine(i tried individual).
Monitor 1: Specs
Monitor 2: Specs
They have both VGA input and my laptop have HDMI and VGA input.
One is connected with VGA and the other one is connected from VGA to HDMI through a converter.

The problem is that the second screen shows a black screen. I can switch between those 2 screens but it doesn't show both of them.
In the display settings I see 3 screens where the third one is gray, look image.
Even the device manager shows 3 screens, look image.

My laptop has 2 GPU

  1. Intel(R) HD Graphics 4000
  2. NVIDIA GeForce GT 630M

Lenovo IdeaPad Z580

 

I read on the internet that I should enable to use both GPU in BIOS. But I don't have that option. Not even advanced option.
What can i do to fix this?

Have you checked in the os settings that it is actually displaying to the 3rd monitor. This has happened in the past to me so...

In windows there should be a setting called display

 

settings> system> display
