Monitor isn't recognized but works and there's no PnP Monitor driver

phillpower2 · Jun 14, 2020

Hello virtuo,

Can i first of all mention that drivers for monitors are a thing of the past and you do not need to install them separately and haven't had to since Windows XP. and CRT monitors, if you are having resolution problems the issue is with the GPU drivers

The list of HP drivers here does not list any for the GPU that you have, have you fitted the GT 1030 yourself.

What is the make and model of the power supply?

That system usually came with a 240 Watt power supply.

The GT 1030 card requires a 300 watt minimal power supply to run.

Okay thanks a lot for unlocking it, anyways as I was saying, yes I fitted the GT 1030 myself after making sure my power supply, HP-D3201E0(Which I googled but I couldn't find about a lot), it had maximum supply of 320 watt.

Anyways wanted to note that the problem with the monitor not being recognized by the pc at all had started before getting the GT 1030 when I had AMD Radeon HD 5450, except there were plug and play monitor drivers which the pc recognized but the problem it gave me wrong resolutions(my monitor's maximum is 1280 x 1024 with 70 hertz, this gives me 1920 x 1080 with hertz 100+) that don't work with the monitor, I don't remember when was the first time my windows worked on plug and play drivers and couldn't regonize my DELL monitor but it was a very long time ago(more than 1-2 years), until I got my GT 1030 which worked normally with plug and play except after about a week or two, the plug and play drivers suddenly out of nowhere(I don't remember installing or changing any drivers or doing anything) disappeared and my pc no longer could recognize there was ANY monitors but it knew there was a monitor plugged into DVI-D(the plug and play drivers were acting as if the monitor was unplugged).

My drivers for the graphics card are fully updated and for the monitor, they can't be installed cause they're pretty old and only for vista and XP. I don't remember installing monitor's drivers in the past(more than 2-3 years ago) but I surely remember my pc always recognizing it.

I wouldn`t trust that PSU to be able to produce anywhere near 320W tbh as the numbers on the PSU label do not add up, 256W if you are lucky but most likely nearer 200W.

Download and run DriverView which you can get from here

Save the results to text and attach to your next reply for us if you will.

Download then run Speccy (free) and post the resultant url for us, details here, this will provide us with information about your computer hardware + any software that you have installed that may explain the present issue/s.

To publish a Speccy profile to the Web:

In Speccy, click File, and then click Publish Snapshot.

In the Publish Snapshot dialog box, click Yes to enable Speccy to proceed.

Speccy publishes the profile and displays a second Publish Snapshot. You can open the URL in your default browser, copy it to the clipboard, or close the dialog box.

I'm not really sure tbh, it's written on the label "MAXIMUM POWER SHALL NOT EXCEED 320W" and some chinese lines later on with 320W in between.

But anyways here's my speccy: http://speccy.piriform.com/results/B1FeKmT8Dw6iuNSDY8Ohup6
and in driverview, I selected all and chose to export(I think that's what you wanted), I attached it.

No need for us to look at the list of drivers as we can see that you have multiple issues going on with the amount of free storage space on the C: partition being the most critical.

Rather than us have to check I prefer to be direct and ask if the version of Windows 7 on this computer is legitimate, the lack of Windows updates suggest that it may not be.

Troubleshooting computer problems is a waste of time when it is known that Windows is out of date as any one of a number of the missing hot fixes could be the solution to any problem that you may be having.

Partition 0
Partition ID: Disk #0, Partition #0
Disk Letter: C:
File System: NTFS
Volume Serial Number: E4BDB8DA
Size: 48 GB
Used Space: 48 GB (98%)
Free Space: 636 MB (2%)

Partition 1
Partition ID: Disk #0, Partition #1
Disk Letter: D:
File System: NTFS
Volume Serial Number: 04A4CD36
Size: 184 GB
Used Space: 169 GB (91%)
Free Space: 14.8 GB (9%)

For Windows to be able to run efficiently and to be able to update you need to have between 20 and 25% of the partition or drive available as free storage space at all times, if you don`t you risk Windows becoming corrupt or not being able to update which puts you at risk of malware attack.

Data only storage devices should not be allowed to get any lower than 10% of free storage space of the full capacity of the drive/partition on the drive, this also to avoid data corruption.

Please note that storage devices can physically fail if the amount of free storage space is allowed to drop below the required 10 or 20/25% minimum.

Uninstall as many unused programs, games, videos and music files as you can and get yourself another means of backing up to, post back when you have between 20 and 25% free storage on the C: drive/partition and we can go from there.

I seriously don't think that's the problem at all because nothing as it WAS working and it SUDDENLY stopped working(my c had even had much less storage) and I haven't touched or did anything nearby updates thus they're quite obviously not related. I've always used most of my c free storage and I never did windows update because they always hindered my pc in a way or another and I downloaded them when required. But since you're the expert here, I will trust what you're saying and give it a shot and I will post here when I've free 20 to 25% so give me like till tomorrow.
