Hi folks,

can anyone please help me about my display problem? I just bought a PC last week. But I'm having problem with my DVI display.
My both video adapter and LCD support DVI output, but when I connected them with DVI-D cable the screen can only display untill windows xp desktop comes up which means the screen has been blank during boot process even in BIOS screen.
Sometime if i click 'del' to enter the BIOS(screen is blank), it can display after a couple of minutes but this is not always case.
Since I don't have any extra adapter or DVI-D/I calbe to try, I am totally lost. I also checked vendor website but no newer updates provided at moment.

If anyone could please give me any suggestion, it will be much appreciated. Thanks in advance!

Some video cards don't display anything on the DVI during bootup. There's no good way around this (it would require a BIOS flash of the video card, if one was even made available); use the VGA out if you have to access the BIOS.

If the DVI panel is the only thing connected, it should. Maybe the panel's hardware has problems syncing up to the low-res text and graphics modes that are being used during bootup. Check with the panel vendor.

Any fix for this issue? My computer now does this after uprgrading to the latest official nvidia drivers. Before it would show the bios screens so its not the card...
