PC no longer recognises VGA as output

[tophoncho]

I've had my pc since October and never had this problem.

 

I installed a game and when I ran it it dropped the signal (this happens from time to time, running in windowed mode usually fixes), this time it also crashed, so I restarted my computer, since then my computer won't display on VGA as its main output, (it works for my hdmi cable, with VGA left in as a kind of second screen it works like that, this is just inconvenient as using hdmi the output resolutions dont fit my screen properly), so backtracking problems I ran windows in safety mode (which worked through VGA) and uninstalled the game. This didn't correct my problem.

 

I then plugged in my HDMI cable and noticed another program couldn't run properly because of a corrupted .net file, so I went and .Net 4.0 again and repaired it. This didn't work.

 

I've been into system in the control panel and done the maintainence and repair options available and it still doesn't work.

 

I have to assume its not my moniter or cable because it displayed through the HDMI cable and everything worked as normal with the pc in Safety mode, I'm not as techy as people think and I just cant see what else could be causing it.

 

Can anyone help?
