I just made a switch from 754 to 775, bought a Pentium D 820, 2GB DDR2 533, ECS C19-A SLI, and 7600gs.
One of the ramsticks errored in Memtest within 10 minutes, the other was fine. Dimm slot 1 on the motherboard died after the first day. And now apparently my 7600gs has a faulty DVI out... First time I've ever gotten defective wares, let alone 2-3 in one order.
I got in on the Acer AL1916 deal from Staples, and when I hook it up via DVI I get no signal. Everything works fine using VGA though. And the weird thing is, when I use a DVI-VGA adapter, I still get a signal. So I figured the monitor must be the problem. Well I had a 2nd LCD, a Norwood 19", and when I hooked it up via DVI, same thing, no fvcking signal.
So I highly doubt both of my monitors are bad, possibly drivers, or just a dead DVI port on my card. But if the DVI out on the card was bad, would it still be possible to get a signal using a DVI-VGA adapter? Does anyone else have a 7600gs running the DVI out? I'm using the 84.21's, I'm gonna try a few different releases and see if that fixes anything.
And I've already tried selecting the signal from the OSD, but it can only be done if you have a signal to begin with. So I've tried connecting both the VGA and DVI at the same time and switching to DVI through the OSD, but it just reverts right back to VGA, so I don't think that's the problem.
