Multiple monitors issue

Hello, everybody, I have the following problem, I'm trying to connect two monitors to my laptop (I want there were three of them at all - the central one is my laptop's screen, and two external besides it.) One monitor has a DVI output and the second - HDMI. I use one of the cheapest docking stations - by functionality similar to those https://www.bestadvisers.co.uk/best-laptop-docking-station. My laptop - asus rog gl502vt ( specs).

Now about the problem - one of the monitors does not work. If I choose the not-working monitor as main - it turns on, but the second one turns off. The laptop screen always works. If I select a laptop monitor as the main screen, the monitor that turns off in the settings is under number 3 (second works perfect).
What could be the problem? I installed the driver for the station correctly, I'm sure as the reinstallation did not give anything. The laptop drivers are always updated in a timely manner.

If you have any suggestions and I`m offline - contact me via e-mail please. [email protected]

 

Don't use the dock. Connect the monitors directly to your laptop - HDMI to HDMI for one and mini DisplayPort to DVI for the other.

 

Since you picked one of the cheapest docking stations, the DVI and HDMI inputs are probably linked to the same circuit and only one of them can be on at a time. You can normally tell if they are by then have some sort of bracket around it. We would be able to more easily tell you what the specific issue might be if you gave us the exact model of your docking station. But this is most likely an issue where the docking station is only able to replicate the screen out of one of the outputs as they both can't be active at the same time. Want to be able to use more screen, follow @saturnotaku's advise or buy a more expensive docking station like this: www.amazon.com/dp/B00O0M46KO

It could also be some of your settings, making sure that you are extending the monitors and not just enabling them can have an impact as well. Sometimes you need to extend one monitor before you're able to extend to the third one. Double check this as well.

 

Following on to this, it's also very possible that if you bought a cheap docking station, it is USB 2.0 (instead of USB 3.0) and doesn't have the bandwidth to handle two displays simultaneously.

 

Ty, I didn`t know there exist such adapters. I feel like a noob.

Thanks to you too, I forgot to mention that everything worked fine before I updated windows to 10. However, the docking station is no longer meaningful, since I will just tomorrow buy an adapter about which I was told by @saturnotaku. I feel really very stupid))

I decided to give a small report - I bought an adapter, everything works perfectly, the docking station threw into the garage.)
