Second monitor stays black (dual screens)

Hi, I recently got dual monitors and when I turned on my PC today, both of them were off. I tried unplugging and plugging them back in and it fixed the older monitor. It's one I haven't used in a while but I bought an HDMI cable for it so I could have two screens.

My main monitor, the one I've been using since I bought this PC 2 years ago, didn't get fixed. I checked for loose cables and everything was plugged in fine. I restarted my computer just it case it was acting weird because I usually put my pc to sleep. Same thing, screen stayed black. I considered that it might be the screen's power cable or the DVI-HDMI cable I had on it. I switched my setup and stole the cables from the screen that was working fine. Nope, the screen's still black and the cables I thought were faulty work okay with the older monitor. So it seems the problem is my screen.

My PC detects the monitor and I can drag things in and out of the screen to my other one, but the display itself is black. The light on the power button of the monitor is fine; it's telling me the screen is on. The display is black and I can't figure out what could have happened from when I used it last night until now. All I did was put my PC to sleep and then go to bed.

The screen with the problems is a Sceptre, E225W-1920 22" LED 1080P Monitor. The one that's okay is from my old Dell computer. My computer is from CyberPowerPC. Processor is AMD FX-9590 Eight-core processor 4.70 GHz, 16.0 GB RAM. I'm running Windows 8.1. Thank you for taking your time to help me, this is my first time posting here. Let me know if I missed anything.

certain keys on my keyboard dont work when "cold"

Hi guys, i have a Lenovo Y520-15IKBN (80WK) and certain keys on the keyboard don't work (e,g,h,8,9,Fn...) but only when the weather is cold. for example in the winter it used to work after certain amount of time when i first boot the laptop and stops working when i stop using it for a while, but now that the weather is hot it works just fine except for the first couple of minutes or when its colder. of course i do realise that it has nothing to do with the outside weather but with the temperature of the computer itself. can someone explain to me why this is happening and how it should be fixed as i cannot take it to the tech service until july even though it's still under warranty because i need it for school. ps: an external keyboard works fine.

Old PC with a Foxconn n15235 motherboard needs drivers! Help!!

So my Pc corrupted and I had to fresh install windows on it, but now its missing 3 drivers and one of them is for the Ethernet controller! I've tried searching everywhere for the windows 7 drivers but all I seem to find are some dodgey programs saying they will install it for me. Problem is without the ethernet driver I can't bloody connect to the internet. I've been using a USB to try get some drivers on there, but they just end up being useless programmes . I'm also a bit of a noob at these things, I don't understand where to find the names of things in my PC, I've opened it up but I don't understand whats significant and what isnt. If someone has the drivers and can teach me how to install them I'd be very appreciative! Submitted April 29, 2018 at 02:47PM by darrilsteady https://ift.tt/2r76xMZ
