I'm a complete potato when it comes to the technical stuff, so please ask any questions if I miss some important info out.

As above, have upgraded my CPU to an AMD A10-6800k with integrated graphics, don't have a GPU installed. Have been running dual monitors for the past 3 or years on my previous CPU without any problems but after swapping them out, only the primary monitor is being detected.

They both work, have tried them independently. One is connected through VGA and one is through a VGA-HDMI adapter and its the VGA-HDMI that isn't being detected. But on startup, it shows the loading/startup on both monitors clearly, and I can go into the bios settings which shows on both monitors clearly but when it gets to the windows 8 login, the 2nd monitor states "No signal, going to sleep"

Any help would be appreciated!

Yes, it doesnt detect any 2nd monitors connected to enable.

OK, I would download and run this:

http://www.guru3d.com/files-details/display-driver-uninstaller-download.html

to delete all your graphics drivers, then use the link ModMonster posted to download the newest AMD Radeon Crimson drivers, and install them. This may correct it, and if it doesn't at least you have a clean starting point.

But he is using a converter, trhe system should "see" it as digital. And he said he replaced only his APU, meaning he had an APU before and this worked fine.
