Really Weird Video Problem.. Come on Geniuses help me out!!

[Josh64FX]

I have an ATI X1950pro and an Asus M2N-sli deluxe motherboard and the DVI does not work but the VGA works fine.. No display on the DVI, in windows it says no devices attached when I try to DUAL it on the DVI.

So I took the ATI X1950pro out and hooked it up to an ATI A8R-MX board and the DVI and VGA works fine.

Both were hooked up to the same monitor..

So does that mean, my M2N-sli deluxe motherboard is defective? Never seen a mobo restricting DVI out.

Open CCC and check if "Reduce DVI frequency on high-resolution displays" and "Alternative DVI operational mode" are enabled

Make sure your refesh rate is set to 60Hz


I went through this very thing this weekend, it was the refresh rate

 

[Josh64FX]

CCC is the ATI driver control panel & I think he means connect your moniter via the analog port & check the settings that way.

Yes, thanks Capante, i should've been more specific.

Nope that didnt work.. Any other suggestions?

So when you say your trying to different mobos, you're actually trying two different systems, correct?

 

[Josh64FX]

yes two different systems..

 

[conlan]

Are the Monitor drivers installed on that system?

 

[Josh64FX]

well once I start the system, VGA posts fine but DVI does not post.. This is on the M2N-sli deluxe
On my other system, Asus A8R-MX, DVI and vga posts fine..

I am not even in windows

Check your monitor menu, scroll through and see if it is receiving a Digital signal, if not, make sure you have power to the PCI-E connector at your Video Card, and that your Video card is fully seated.
