Hey guys,

I finished my Sierra Hackintosh/Windows dual-boot and so far it's been amazing. Everything works perfectly, except for one thing: dual monitors. So I have two 1080 Acer monitors and they work fine together in Windows but in Sierra what happens when I plug in the secondary one the primary one is starts to flash and then the secondary one says no signal. Anyone can help me? (Specs on my profile)
 
What brand of GPU do you have?

Make sure Inject/Nvidia is false.

InjectNvidia is false. I have a GTX 750Ti nvidia. Drivers are installed and work fine.
 
How are both of your monitors connected? What cables or adapters are you using. What happens when you boot the system with both monitors already attached.

Primary one with VGA and secondary one with HDMI without any adapters. When I boot the system with both attached it boots fine but the primary one works for a few seconds than fades to black for a few seconds and it loops like this. The secondary one just says no signal on the display.
 
Primary one with VGA
This is your problem in macOS, VGA isn't supported, as you've seen it causes trouble. Windows still supports VGA hence why it works for you in that environment. Best solution, use a digital connection for your primary monitor. This will then work for you in both maOS and Windows.

But if VGA isn't supported by macOS why does it work fine when only my primary monitor (VGA) is plugged in?

Good question. I don't have an accurate answer. VGA sometimes work when connected to a discreet graphics card, I had this same scenario with a Radeon 6850. See if you are getting full acceleration by watching a youtube video etc. But it is not supported and you'll get your secondary display working with your primary using digital connections.

I have full GPU acceleration. Guess I'll just get a DVI cable. Thanks for the help!
 
Super big thanks to Casedit! this has fixed my problem too
