Title: GV-N730D5-2GI: DVI-D Port Signal
Post by: madetoheal75 on October 18, 2015, 05:40:56 pm

Hello all,

I'm struggling to find out what the issue is for what I intend to setup with my PC and its displays.

Main objective:  Extend desktop across two of the same monitors and clone the desktop display onto one television. 

• I have this PC ( http://www.microcenter.com/product/438579/M32AD-US026S_Desktop_Computer ) with this graphics card ( http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814125775 ) that has HDMI, DVI-D and VGA output ports. 
• I want to use these monitors ( http://www.tigerdirect.com/applications/SearchTools/item-details.asp?EdpNo=8297949&CatId=5469 ) that have VGA and HDMI input ports.
• I also want to use this television ( http://www.amazon.com/Samsung-UN32H5203-32-Inch-1080p-Smart/dp/B00K4UIO9K ) that has an HDMI input port. 
• [And just in case this information is also helpful, I use this power supply unit in the PC ( http://www.tigerdirect.com/applications/SearchTools/item-details.asp?EdpNo=7850412&CatId=1079 )]

Current Setup:

• Right now I have the television connected through the HDMI port and two monitors connected through the DVI-D and VGA ports.  According to its website ( http://www.gigabyte.us/products/product-page.aspx?pid=5113#sp ), I should be able to have 3 displays. 
• The TV connects through an HDMI to HDMI, one monitor connects via VGA to VGA and the other monitor physically connects to the DVI-D port through a DVI-D (male) to HDMI (female) video adapter ( http://www.microcenter.com/product/355991/HDMI_Female_to_DVI_Male_Adapter ) attached to the graphics card and an HDMI to HDMI cable to the monitor. 
• The video adapter connects exactly to the DVI-D port with matching 24+1 pins design.

The Issue:

• The problem in my experience involves anything that connects to the DVI-D port.  After I power on the computer the DVI-D monitor does in fact display the ASUS PC startup screen but then blacks out when the PC loads Windows 10.
• At first I thought maybe it's the monitor and so I tried connecting the DVI-D port to my television in the same way I did to the monitor and I still don't see any differences or improvements. 

I feel as if I should be able to achieve my objective without further additional purchases. 

Any thoughts? 

Thank you very much for your time.
