Solved! Could not figure out how to delete this post.
I've switched monitors, switched inputs from VGA to HDMI to DVI tried various cables and it seems my machine only recognizes the monitor connected via VGA.
Windows 8.1, i7 3770, P8Z77-VLK, Radeon HD6450. Any Ideas, suggesyions would be greatly appreciated.
