Recent PC overhaul, things not working right.

[JonCook]

This past Thursday, I managed to do some major hardware upgrades on my PC; specifically I switched from an ASUS X99 mobo and an i5-5980K, to a ROG MAXIMUS Hero XII wi-fi and a i7-10700.

 

Install went well, but wouldn't recognize the SSD's. Fiddling around in the bios fixed that. Then I couldn't connect to the internet. More bios tinkering, and that was solved.

 

Now, I have 2 monitors. Both are connected through DisplayPort. My newer one is working fine. My older one(~2 yrs.) is not. The computer recognizes it, but it doesn't get a signal. I've tried to replace cables, swap cables, "uninstall" it in hardware manager, turn it on before powering on, turn on during powering up. Later today, I'm going to be trying to use HDMI instead of DIsplayPort and see if that works.

 

Is there anything that I might have missed? Any other possible solution? Should I just deal with the fact that I have a dead monitor?

 

 

EDIT: have tried using HDMI instead of DisplayPort. PC does not recognize monitor, and treats it like a clone of the one that works.

 

EDIT2: Tried putting HDMI cable into Mobo directly. No result, but I didn't go into bios either. Will probably fiddle with that later tonight.

Try the monitor with another PC/laptop/console?

See if there are any drivers on the internet

Problem was solved(at least for the forseeable time). I updated my GPU drivers.
