Dual Screen setup on my first build. Apologies, am architecture student learning the ropes.

Whichever screen i have plugged into the gpu is working (hdmi). This works for both screens and both leads.

Have tried connecting to the mobo hdmi with the second screen but not working. Do i have to only use whatever connections are left on my gpu or do the mobo connections stil work?

Have enabled IGPU monitor in UEFI.

Thoughts appreciated.

if this is an intel mb and cpu combo check in the bios under primany display that igpu is on and muilt monitor support is on. then make sure the right intel video driver is installed for the ipgpu. under device manager it should show up that it on. then in intel video control panel you should be able to turn on the second monitor. also check that your intel cpu has a video chipset in it. same if it an amd cpu.
