The connection with my primary monitor went black after moving monitor, my secondary monitor is fine
I check connections , change cables, bought new cables just in case they were the cause, even swap the monitors and try to see if it was the monitor.
monitors both work.
so i check the connection on the graphic card. I have a GEForce 530 card
I went and bought a new supply power of 400Watts to support a GEForce GT 740 and the computer beeps onces and nothing, black screens
so i tried with just one monitor and still black , i cannot start it on safe mode it does not give me the options just the specifications and nothing else.
i even clear the RAM memory cards, clear the CMOS and unplugged and plugged the card back just in case.
nothing
still black screen
I return to my old card and it works fine but only one monitor, I need both monitors to be working.
any sugestions or you know if this model does not support an upgrade card ?
i have been researching already for couple of days .
thanks you

Check with the manufacturer of the card. I suspect it's a UEFI VBIOS card, not Legacy. Your system only supports Legacy. An explaination by @old_geekster can be found here.
