Short version of my problem:
Screen flickers when 2 monitors are plugged in separately (1 DVI on video card, 1 VGA on motherboard). IGD enabled in BIOS. Screens have different resolutions. They won't work together and keep turning on and off.
Long version
Hello
I am trying to get my pc to work with 2 monitors, the first one being a Full HD Asus monitor plugged to my graphics card via DVI, and the second one a lower res LG monitor, plugged in to my motherboard (Z170 A SLI Plus) on its VGA port.
I have enabled IGD in the BIOS, and tried almost every amount of memory available (I tried the standard memory setting, and the highest ones).
My problem is:
When IGD is enabled, and both of my monitors plugged in (like I explained before, DVI on video card and VGA on motherboard), the computer first boots up normally but after one or two seconds logging into Windows, the screens start flickering.
As I'm not logged in yet, only one of the two monitors actually display something, but the screen turns off for 1 second, turns back on for 1 or 2 seconds, and turns back off again. It keeps doing that and I haven't figured out why.
Therefore, I am currently using only one of my two monitors (the one plugged to the video card ofc), with IGD disabled and the second monitor off and unused. I know I could buy an adapter to plug both screens to the video card but I'm also supposed to be able to use them the way I'm trying to! Unless I missed something in terms of compatibility when I bought the parts.
Anyway! That's my problem. I hope someone can help me solve it, or maybe someone else has a similar issue? Thanks in advance.
