I looked through this forum about this, but didn't find anything that could help me.

The thing is - I've got an old monitor from a friend, so that i can use it as a second monitor on my integrated graphics card via avg cable. But the problem is, when i plug in the monitor, it says that there is no signal, and when i look in Device manager, only my "external" graphics card is shown, but the onboard graphics was enabled in Bios.

Specs: AMD Athlon X4 750K
ASRock FM2A55M-HD+ with Integrated AMD Radeon™ R7/R5 Series Graphics in A-series APU
ATI AMD Radeon R7 200 Series

Am I doing something wrong? Is this not even possible with this mb/integrated graphics?

Yes, you're doing something wrong.

Never ever use your integrated card when you have a dedicated graphics card. It is so fundamentally important that your Motherboard automatically shuts off the integrated graphics when a GPU is present. You may get suggestions and methods for how to bypass this - don't do it.

Just plug your second monitor directly into your R7. That will instantly fix this problem, and will have zero impact on your performance.

make sure you do install the intel HD graphics driver

or would not answered

Try reboot the PC, boot into the BIOS in the graphics section to see you can set to onboard, or you can use both of them, or auto detect

Hope It Can Be Helpful


Best regards :)

First some clarifications: My understanding of your OP is that you have a discrete GPU (a separate card that you plugged in) and your primary monitor is connected through that. You are trying to connect your secondary monitor through the integrated GPU (the one included in the CPU with an output on the motherboard). My advice will be coming based on these assumptions.

You should be plugging in both monitors to the same GPU. If you are using your discrete, it probably has more than one output, get the appropriate adapters if you need to and use that. It'll be less trouble. Unless you have a good and specific reason, you shouldn't be running both your integrated and discrete graphics at the same time.

In most cases, the BIOS default is pick discrete if it exists or fall back to integrated, but not both. There is usually a setting called enable integrated multimonitor which should be disable by default or a GPU selection setting which should be Auto (or discrete or external) by default. If you're unsure as to which settings you have changed on your mobo I would recommend resetting your mobo. Exact instructions can be found in your manual, but is something along the lines of shorting two pins on your mobo or pressing a button marked cmos clear, RTC clear, etc.

Edit: I just looked at your spec list again to look at your mobo manual to get exact instructions for your CMOS clear, and I realized you have an Athlon x4, IIRC those don't have an integrated GPU. You are experiencing expected behavior. Just plug all of your monitors into your discrete GPU
