Is there a chance that my PC doesn't recognize my monitor because I'm using WIN7?

[szabesz63]

I tried every solution to fix my monitor, but my PC just doesn't wanna recognize it, so before I bring it back to my shop, my question is, will WIN10 fix the problem?

[szabesz63]

Or should I download all available windows 7 update? There is one for Silverlight, and 6 for WIN7, and they aren't required

does the monitor work on other devices?

Windows can only be the problem if it does not have the drivers to run the monitor.

 

or a windows update can install the drivers for you.

It is unlikely but could you give some more details. What monitor, PC specs and what have you tried so far.

Also does it work in the BIOS

is not windows fault, probably you conected your secondary monitor to your igpu and need to activate first from bios... thats the common issue but if you dont say anything from problem we cant do anything.

1º monitor works with other devices?
2º Its a single monitor or you have 2?
3º where do you have conected (motherboard or gpu)
4º what gpu do you have

things like that can solve your problem...

From another post you only  say that is your only monitor ( so do you see windows ) 144hz needs display port cable not hdmi, conect via displayport and on monitor settings (even is a general monitor) you can change refresh from 60 to 144 (must be conected to the display port)

What GPU? Can you see any logos when you boot? Did plug in cables into the motherboard output or GPU output?

Possible your video card is bad. Can you connect to MB video out if you have one?
