hi,
so i have been using a 2 monitor set-up for a long while now, however the other day, my 2nd monitor stopped working when i tried to start up the system again after not having used the system in a day. the monitor was connected to my system with a VGA cable into a connector: http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B009C6LMT6/ref=oh_au...
into the slot in the back of my XFX 7870. this set-up has worked for a long time and all of a sudden stops.

When i turn the monitor on it displays a connecting type image but does nothing. and due to it giving me an image i doubt its the monitor not working.

I have tried a different VGA cable and still nothing, i have EVEN switched my 2nd monitor with another spare monitor, still my computer will not recognise either of them...

when it was working i did have a power-cut, but it worked fine afterwards so im not sure if that may be a cause.

UPDATE: i installed new drivers for my Graphics card, now when i press detect it says "Another Display not detected"...im lost. need help. SOS. pls.

Anyone have any options?

Thanks for any and all help. much is needed!

What kind of monitors do you have exactly? Are there any errors in Device Manager?
