Hello everyone, i appreciate the help i am about to receive as i think this is a relatively easy fix and i'm just missing something. Let me preface this with that i have downloaded, reinstalled, and restarted drivers and the pc itself. In fact this issue only occurs with this HP 24W monitor (part no. 919456-001) 23.8 inch. If i plug my Samsung monitor into the same port my games work just fine.
So the issue is as follows. Every time i try to start up a game that runs in a directx environment (fullscreen or otherwise) the game will not start and if i'm lucky i will get a directX error. For 'League of Legends' i get "an unknown DirectX error has occured and LOL cannot start. Please make sure your video card is using the latest video drivers from the manufacturer" (which i am). The game 'Master X Master' will just simply not start (no error message). Below are my specs although i'm 98% certain this is just a monitor issue even though i'm getting a direct x message.
