Question

MSI ATI HD 5450 Display Card HDMI Port Not working?

Mar 9, 2016 3:33AM PST

I have a MSI ATI HD 5450 Display Card.I'm Using a VGA monitor and when i try to connect another monitor trough HDMI port my screen starts to flicker and the device plugged/unplugged sound keeps playing but nothing appears on my second monitor.
(The control panel or the device manager does not recognize the second monitor)
I'm using a HDMI to VGA converter to connect my second monitor and both converter and the monitor works fine on other computers.
I'm using windows 10 pro with latest updates.

Try that HDMI port to a display over HDMI next as a test.

What input ports are available on these monitors?
If one or the other has vga/dvi try the dvi port with the proper cable.
