Will not start PC with DVI Monitor connected

[jameswhite1979]

Hi,

I have a shuttle PC that had a ATI 9600 XT card that had both DVI and D-sub connectors. I used to use it was a CRT d-sub screen no problems. About 2 weeks ago I bought myself a 32" LG LCD and connect directly DVI to DVI no problems at all. A week ago I decided that I wanted to buy another PC so I asked a few people at work if anyone wanted to buy my old shuttle from me. A guy wanted to so I got it ready to sell to him. I did a bit of a naughty thing and swapped the 9600 XT with a 9600 SE that my friend had and the buyer was not even going to use it for games so I thought what the hell. However now I have found that with the new card installed the PC will not boot with the DVi connected. No error beeps. Nothing. Just a fan and some times the lights might flash. If I have the screen turned off when the PC is turned on its all find and I hear windows logging in I turn on the screen and its all fine. The PC will boot with the screen connected via D-sub. So it all works just not with DVI - DVI on hardware boot. Any ideas?

did you install the proper drivers?

Yes not a problem at all. Its fine within windows were the driver would load. Its way before that when the problem starts. When I first turn the thing on

Guess you'll have to reinstall windows from scratch or just put back the original video card.

Also did you test the new video card in another computer ? Maybe it has a bad dvi port.

But what would windows have to do with it if it is pre BIOS?

I don't have another PC to test it in. I think I will try to flash the bios and try it on another screen
