    i do not understand why in my "device manager" it says that i have three plug and play monitor installed? is it possible that i can have three plug and play monitor when i'm not even using an external monitor?

    and sometimes when i open my os it says "found new hardware" and it detected "the plug and play monitor."

    what could be possibly be the problem?

    thanks for anyone who can help!

    The problem could be in the drivers of the GPU, the VGA port or even the Bios.Try installing new (reinstalling) the latest drivers for you laptop. Have you ever connected an external monitor?

    well that three plug and play monitor really came up when i uninstall and reinstall my GPU.

    maybe i'll just leave it like that...

    hopefully it won't do any damage to my os and hardware..

    by the way i didn't connect any monitor yet.

    You could go into Device manager and then see if you can disable the other 2...it is doesn't affect your current monitor you should be good to go. :)

    That way you won't have to deal with it. :)

    maybe i'll leave it like that.

    thanks.

    Don't try to un-install...it will just re-detect it...just disable it. :)

    Unistall one at a time and see which one controls the monitor that you are on. Then disable the 2 that aren't the one you are using. :)
