Hi! I am trying to connect 2 monitors i have to same PC. One monitor to the integrated graphics AMD A4-5300 apu box, and the second to AMD Radeon HD 5700 i have connected via PCI-E.
For some reason the monitor which is connected to the integrated graphics is just staying black, the led on the monitor is showing that its connected, but it is not getting any image.
Motherboard is FM2-A55M-E33, CPU/Integrated GPU- APU A4-5300 . external graphics - Radeon 5700HD Series. Psu is a random 500 W one .

If you require any more information to aid me , please let me know!
 
I am not certain and I'm pretty sure someone will correct me if I am wrong but integrated graphics are not really meant to be used at same time as normal graphics cards.
In short, intergrated GPU in the processor shuts out the output to display if 2nd card is present and acts only as supporting GPU as/if possible.
If HD5700 has two monitor outlets, plug both monitors into it. You might need to use dvi to vga adapter but past that, it should then work nicely.

How would having 2 monitors on same gpu affect my performance?
I will probably try to get that adapter tomorrow then.
 
pretty much same as having them separate. The total amount of pixels to draw on both screens stays same.
Seeing as the graphics card you have is not most recent, running games on dual screens likely wont work but second monitor is amazing as far as doing anything else is involved. (and even if you play games, it works fine for keeping tabs on chat/skype/stuff without alt-tabbing.
