lcd works in safe mode, not regular.. help !

[Maezr]

woke up and my monitor wasn't working

on the screen, it'll just show "digital" for a few seconds, then switch to "analog" and it'll continue to switch back and forth. I tried powering the monitor on and off, and restarting the computer. no luck.

however, if I go into safemode, everything works just fine.

it's a Samsung Syncmaster 910t. any help would really be appreciated

Reinstall video card driver or monitor driver.

Try using DVI instead of analog or vice versa?

If not, there is always the start --> run --> msconfig --> system restore option 😀

system restore...rofl

if i were this guy i would reintsall driver if that works good if not reformat.

I'm not sure how to switch from DVI to analog (or vice versa) to be honest. I'm not even sure which I'm using currently...

when I uninstall the video drivers, it works fine. when I reinstall them I get this same problem.

It's probably switching back and forth because it doesn't see a usable signal. The resolution is probably set too high?

Restart your computer, bring up the boot menu, but instead of safe mode use "Enable VGA Mode".

The LCD should work, but you'll be running at 640x480. Now bump up the resolution to right one. If you hit a bad one, restart and start over, you'll know what resolution is the LCD's limit and what to not use 😀

 

[Maezr]

when it's out bounds as far as the resolution goes (it's happened before), I get something other than that (it says what the max resolution is)

 

[Maezr]

other ideas?

 

[Maezr]

really need help with this..

 

[Maezr]

any idea what I should even do? would support even cover this sort of thing, from Samsung or something?

Why dont you test the LCD with a different PC?

The blue plug us D-sub (analog). The white plug is DVI. Try the blue if you have the white, white if you have the blue.

I have the exact same moniter. It does jump for a while looking for a signal (like someone said earlier) when you just turn on the system.
