    Have you reinstalled both intel and nvidia drivers?

    it should automatically clone the screen, try fn+F1 it lets you select options for external screen.

    Also have you tested the hdmi cable? i've been running cheap 1-2$ cables forever and they are not that flexible, as in at all lol.

GPU still works fine plays games checked optumis making sure it changing getting 40 fps + on wow on Intel 8fps but not Sure if it mobo failure to the HDMI when I plug in just black screen but GPU won't pick it up go settings and doesn't see the screen but I unplug the cable the screen says no signal so something is happening but the lappy won't show picture on the secondary screen.... And. I tried forcing through NVIDIA control panel etc... Running and programs on GPU the. Trying to duplicate still nothing... Tried dell Drivers and latest NVIDIA drivers

    What's the model of the screen?
    Have you tried another one?

    Have you tried a screen that's smaller than 27" or with a resolution lower than 1920x1080?
    Why i'm asking you this is because the HDMI port won't output to a resolution above 1920x1200 and if the screen doesn't have a scaler you don't get any output.

    We need to confirm this before going further.

    hey guys

    27inch LED Monitor Series 3 (S27B350H) is the screen im using also being a HDMI port should scale to 1080P or 720p but showing nothing it doesnt even reconize the screen im trying to force it through nvidia GPU on windows settings..

    Im still thinking its a mobo issue honestly guys what else could it be used every driver under the sun and and gone from old to new back to old used driver fusion to wipe in safe mode..... GPU wont detect the second screen but still works fine plays games as normal .... might just buy a MOBO see how it goes

    It could be the port. Replacing the motherboard might work.
