Hi,

I sold my computer to my friend, I connected my monition though HDMI. My friend has a VGA monitor. When he tries to use it he gets a blank screen. However, I tested it completely hours before selling it to him.

Doesn't the GPU automatically detect that he is connect via VGA Now? If No, How to fix it? Could it be any other problem?

BTW: The GPU is a Nvidia GT210 1GB.
 
Your friend is most likely plugging his monitor in to the built-in VGA port, not into the Geforce card.
The built-in VGA port is automatically disabled when an add-on card is installed.

Tell him to use the VGA port that's on the GeForce card, it's at the top of the card's backplate.
