unable to config monitor

P6510f  orig config w/ 12GB RAM.

DVI-D splitter only works w/ 1 monitor.  Monitor 1 goes blank when 2nd monitor pugged in.

 

so what i can do  ask me

 

>P6510f orig config
So you use the onboard graphics card?
Can't you use the vga port too?
From the specs:
'Can use both DVI and VGA ports at the same time.'

How big are the monitors?
Maybe the graphics chip is too weak to support 2x dvi-d ...

 

Which resolution do you want to run?
A 21" monitor and a 40" TV will have different natiove resolutions, so a splitter will not work then.
Which input ports do you have at ufc 150 live stream monitor and tv?
Which one do you use?

If you have one dvi-a (or dvi-i) port I would go with a vga-to-dvi_a adapter.

Re: unable to config monitor

Hi,

 

A DVI-D splitter is not going to work to two DVI-D devices.

 

If you need to send digital video to two digtial monitors then install a video card that supports two digital ports.

 

The HP p6510f only has a 250 watt power supply so that would also need upgrading.
