Install a different graphics card. If there are no display issues, then the graphics

card in question may be defective.

If your motherboard has on-board graphics capabilities, you may need to disable

them. Consult your motherboard documentation for more information.

Note:

Some manufacturers do not allow the on-board graphics to be disabled or to

become the secondary display.
