  • It sounds like you're trying to utilize the onboard video out to create a dual-monitor setup, correct? (From someone who used to work at said company) If so, you may be out of luck. installing a video card on most Dell systems (especially PCI-16 & PCI-E setups) disable the onboard intel graphics. Installing the video card reroutes the resources away from onboard to the card. I am unaware of any workaround. If you're comfortable rerouting yourself in system setup (F2 at Dell Logo screen), you can try to activate it there. Otherwise you may have to reroute IRQ settings, which I wouldn't recommend. A quick and easy fix is to buy an additional inexpensive PCI-E video card and install that in the second slot (according to the specs on your system, your MoBo has one X1 and one X16 slot). That should give you the dual-monitor support you want.
