Um. Do you have it connected to your motherboard DVI or VGA or do you have a GPU? You need to have it connected to the GPU rather then the motherboard. If you have intergraged graphic then I dont know.

Ultima points in the right direction could be that you not plugging it into the right output connection does it stay off, or lye in a standby state? What exactly do the screens do.
