[SOLVED] Dual Monitor Issues, DVI and VGA
LockedI originally had a dual 17″ display setup going on. Both VGA. I had one plugged into my 9800XT’s VGA port, and one plugged into a DVI to VGA adapter to plug into the DVI port. It worked great. Booted up everytime and had both monitors where I wanted them. I use my main monitor in front, and the secondary on the left where as most use the second monitor on the right. But anyways, then I got a 22″ LCD. It has DVI and VGA. I figured hey, I don’t need the adapter. I’ll go DVI to the DVI port in my video card. It works, but not very well. I have to boot up the PC with ONLY the DVI plugged in, and then add the VGA after and reconfigure dual monitor. Every time I boot. I’m not sure why. Sometimes if both monitors are plugged in, the system won’t even boot. It shows the POST, and then nothing happens. If I enable the second monitor now, and it’s on the left instead of the right, the system halts, the monitors turn off, and it doesn’t respond. Yes, the video drivers are up to date.
Thanks for any reply. I may have to format.
