Windows 8.1 on my main tower isn't detecting my second monitor. I have tested the monitor with 8.1 laptop and it works.

Are the two monitors connected to the same video card? If the answer is no, check the bios and make sure the onboard video connection is enabled.

AND monitors, most newer video cards can't service two analog monitors at the same time. At least one has to be digital.
