Added graphics card for 2nd monitor, now computer not reading 1st one
Help - I'm not real computer savvy with all the terms so go easy on me. I want to add a 2nd monitor and was told I needed a 2nd graphics card. I purchased a PNY Verto GeForce GT 730 graphics card (Best Buy guy's advice). I got the card in with no problems, plugged the 2nd monitor cord into the new VGA port and turned it on. The 2nd monitor came on but the original monitor was black. I ran the software for the new device, but still nothing. I then switched the cords around so my original monitor is plugged into the new VGA port. Now the original monitor is working but the 2nd one is black. I assume this means my computer isn't recognizing the ORIGINAL graphics card???
I looked in Device Manager to see if there was an exclamation point, but all it shows is the new one: NVIDIA GeForce.
I have a Lenovo desktop. 64 bit. I can't wait until Monday to call PNY and need to fix this ASAP. Any help is appreciated!
