Windows recognizes HDMI connected monitors, but monitors only display "no signal" (Solved)

So, I recently picked up a new ASUS gl752vw laptop and a couple BenQ RL2755hm monitors connected via HDMI & Minidisplay. The monitors do not seem to get signal from the laptop, and just display a "no signal" message before going into standby mode. Both monitors work when connected to other machines, and Windows sees both and I can configure them within Windows, however the monitors just don't seem to get any input. Either going through software or using the keyboard "fn+F8" key combo to Extend the screen, nothing seems to actually kick the monitors into picking up or recognizing a signal.

I did notice that when in the desktop display settings it appears to be using the Intel 530HD integrated graphics instead of the Nvidia 960M. My laptop-fu is weak, so I'm not sure if that is normal or not, I did subsequently set the Nvidia Control Panel 3D settings to globally use the 960M but that didn't seem to change the desktop display menu settings at all.

I have updated the Nvidia drivers, and the laptop is running Windows10 64bit. I had gotten a suggestion about Refresh Hz, tried mucking about with that, didn't fix anything

Any help would be greatly appreciated.
 
On my Lenovo I can tell it to use the Nvidia as the primary display from the BIOS, so you may want to give that a shot.
 
I did check the BIOS and didnt see any video related options aside from assigning how much RAM was allocated to the integrated video, nothing about changing or disabling display adaptors. Ill double check when I get off work however in case I missed something.
 
If the BIOS doesn't have any options for selecting a primary video adapter (or whatever they choose to name it), verify what video card it's using in standard desktop mode. I usually do this through the Nvidia control panel/desktop color settings. If you have digital vibrance control, you are running Nvidia. If not, you are running Intel. At least then you'll know which control panel to focus on.

Thanks, I'll doublecheck when I get home
 
Resolved the problem, two issues, one of which was kinda stupid.

The stupid one was not checking the monitor input, both were aet to DVI not HDMI, the other was downloading the newest drivers from nVidia and not through ASUS, it kicked into gear after that.
