[Bruce]

as I said, this is a strange one, but one I feel should be bloody simple!!!

[PeterOz]

Any ideas @phillpower2

[pedrodi2121]

When we do figure it out it’s going to be the highest point of my life lol

[PeterOz]

I am totally out of ideas.
Still running through my mind. If I think of something I will come back

[pedrodi2121]

Ok, appreciate the support through these days, im sure we will get it someday

I posted at another forum to see if anyone else could help and someone posted this

If the SAME issue, then using the SAME driver I said to use, follow these steps: https://us.download.nvidia.com/Windo...ional-whql.exe Download DDU 18.0.4.6 or Newer: Display Driver Uninstaller (DDU) V18.0.4.6 Released. | Wagnardsoft IMAGE HERE: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1Ulk...ew?usp=sharing Disconnect the NETWORK Cable | WIFI (I Disable these in the DEVICE MANAGER) [win]+[r] > Msconfig > Boot(tab) > Boot Option> check the SAFE BOOT(minimal) … Apply and Reboot. Run DDU (see Settings Below) • Select: NVIDIA Software and drivers • Select: Clean, do not restart Shutdown and Reboot. Back in normal Windows: Install the NVIDIA driver Only • Custom • Check the CLEAN INSTALL option • Finish the Install • Reboot Reconnect the Internet https://drive.google.com/file/d/1ijm...ew?usp=sharing

something new to try
make a ubuntu bootable usb or dvd
Create a bootable USB stick with Rufus on Windows | Ubuntu NO install needed
Boot with both monitors and see what happens

[pedrodi2121]

I created a dvd bootable one, i restarted the computer, it didnt work out, also when i turned it back on, the dvd bootable thing was gone

As in it did not boot or it did not show 2nd monitor

[pedrodi2121]

I might have done it wrong i think, do you mind explaining to me how to do it? ive been looking at it for hours now and i cant get it, what am i supposed to do?

[PeterOz]

depending on computer. On mine all I have to do is boot computer and press F12
It gives me an option what to boot from.
The other option is to go into the bios and set cd as first boot device.
When it boots take the option TRY UBUNTU

[pedrodi2121]

So, on mine is the same as yours, i booted the pc, pressed f12 and try ubuntu is not there, how do i make it a option? im sorry if im being too slow lol

[PeterOz]

im sorry if im being too slow lol

Not a problem
When yo press F12 does it give you an option to boot from CD or DVD ?
If yes choose that option

[pedrodi2121]

It doesnt give me a cd or dvd option, the toshiba one is my external drive, ive tried with it, it didnt work

[PeterOz]

Back to square 1

Ok when you downloaded the older drive I gave a link to.
did you use the ddu uninstaller as per post #51 and then run the driver I gave you.
Do you know how to run the installer I gave you?
