Today I tried to watch something on amazon instant video, but due to HDCP I couldn't watch HD so I went and removed both my DVI cables (one is a vga to dvi adapter) and plugged in the HDMI, but it didn't seem to work (figured out later that I forgot to change the source on the monitor) so I went to plug my DVI cables back in but only one screen turned on the VGA one which is in the first port so screwed around with it for a bit and couldn't figure out what was wrong with it.
I restarted my computer to then be greeted with 800x600 on my VGA monitor and the other still wouldn't turn work just a "DVI No Signal", went to screen resolution which would not detect the other monitor and was now calling this monitor "Generic Non-PnP Monitor" normally it's called HP w1907. Tried my DVI monitor on another computer and it worked fine so it must be something up with my computer. Re-installed Nvidia drivers twice which did nothing, thought maybe it was the graphics card so I tried a 560 which resulted in the same problem.
I've also tried using a 2 system restore points one from today and one from last Tuesday didn't help.
I can't use my DVI monitor on the first port since it's a DVI-I and I only have DVI-D cable
I'm feeling a format would be the best option but I'd like to know what actually is causing this for future reference.
Specs:
Intel Core i5 3570K,1155
2GB MSI GTX 660 Ti Power Edition
16 GB Corsair Vengeance Blue
MSI Z77A-G45
Tried reinstalling GPU drivers?
You can plug a DVI-D cable into a DVI-I port, just not the other way around. Try that.

Already did that twice

Tried that and still get no dvi signal
Also I can set the resolution up to something like 2560x1440 likely since it can't detect it but on the native it doesn't fit the screen.
it's like it won't use the nvidia drivers orsomething,g Is there some way I can check if the nvidia drivers are being loaded and used?
Run DXDIAG in your computer. You can see under display if your drivers are correctly installed. Have you tried a older version of a driver already?
I also had this problem a while ago. I wasn't able to connect my pc to my screen with a hdmi cable.
I fixed it by installing teamviewer on the pc (with the vga cable), and I then swapped it for the hdmi cable. Ofcourse i wasn't able to see anything, but i could control my pc with teamviewer. After that i clicked on the 'detect' or 'identify' button in the screen resolution control panel.
and voila, I was able to see my screen via hdmi.
Maybe it works for you too.

Well it doesn't seem to show any problems with it. I guess I should have tried old drivers ages ago I'll go try that now

Sounds like something that might just fix it, would this work with remote desktop or would I need to use teamviewer?
