PC won't display or detect 2nd monitor.

[HDMcGrath]

So I recently wiped my pc (accidentally) and have reinstalled windows 7 on it and now my pc will only post to one of my 2 displays. I can switch what display this is by rebooting and only having one plugged in but when i boot with both in it displays on what was my secondary monitor. I'm currently upgrading to windows 10 right now and will then get all drivers I need, but I would like to at least know why I'm getting this problem

did you do a "detect" under "resolution" in display in control panel?

Yeah I did, and all I saw was that my monitors have a generic name and that there was only one.

did you install your monitor drivers so instead of showing as generic pnp it would show the make & model# of the monitor?

Now that is one thing I didn't think of, I'll give it a go if I can find them. My main monitor is a TV so I'm not sure if there is any drivers for it and my second one is an old dell monitor.

check tv\monitor's manufacturer's sites for drivers.

I can't find the TV I use anywhere? and when I search for it on the Samsung site it isn't there?

make & model# of the Samsung tv?
