Have you tried the latest video card update from the video card manufacturer's web site? NVIDIA

 

Did you try your primary monitor in the DVI port and the secondary monitor in the VGA port?

 

Is your PC at the 5.16 BIOS level?

Hi

Thanks for reply

Now I found out more details here. I don't have VAG port for my primary monitor,I used an extendtion to connect with VAG cable to the DVI port, so there are  DVI port , HDMI port and TV, S-VEDIO.AUDIO-L AND AUDIO-R prot on the same section, I think it's my video card. and there are another section on the top in the back, which has VAG port and DVI port, digital audio output , I think this section isn't active,because I tried to connect my primary monitor into either of them, all not working.so what can i do now? btw, when I brought this pc, the top two ports(VAG and DVI port) has been capped with screws
