Product: Omen By HP 870-121no
Operating System: Microsoft Windows 10 (64-bit)

Hello! I have an Omen By hp 870-121no. Via the GPU it has 3 displayports, 1 HDMI and one DVI-I.

Although i have 2 HDMI’s from the motherboard.

 

At the moment i have one monitor thats connected to the GPU’s HDMI ( the monitor has VGA and i have an adapter to HDMI. But when i got my second monitor i realised that the HDMI ports feom the motherboard didnt work. I want to avoid buying an adapter so do anyone know what i should do?

The specs of your machine is

 

             https://support.hp.com/au-en/document/c05324604

 

It has GTX 1060 video card and it CLEARLY says

 

          Integrated video is not available if a graphics card is installed.

 

You can use up to four displays at the same time but you can ONLY use ports from the GTX 1060 card which has 5 ports.

 

Regards.
