I would like to add a 2nd monitor to this system. I have a DVI card that I added to the computer but it doesn't seem to be working. Can it work with a DVI card or do I have to use a DisplayPort to DVI adapter?



Thanks!!!

Yes, I had a POS system on a Dell with a VGA monitor at the cash and a DVI monitor in the kitchen. I took the DVI card out of the Dell and put it in the HP machine. It doesn't seem to even recognize the card. Would a DsiplayPort to DVI do the trick?

It could be a broken port on the card, are you able to test a different card in the machine?
And also what Graphics card are you trying to use exactly?

Looks like I'm putting it into a machine with an unsupported chipset.

If your motherboard has a PCI-e slot, the Chipset should support a PCI-e Graphics Card,

What exactly is the model of the Graphics Card?

And what is the model of the two computers that you are using?

I Sincerely apologize for the long delay I have been taking a rather large amount of time on holiday lately, especially with Christmas and New Years
