I just bought a new system with the following parts:
q6600 processor
evga 8800gts 512 video card
corsair 620w psu
gigabyte GA-P35-DS3R motherboard
windows vista ultimate
samsung 226cw
The problem I'm having is, when I connect the monitor via DVI port (tried both ports on the video card) it will work fine for a few minutes and abruptly lose signal. I'm pretty sure the computer is still running, it's not overheating or anything. So I restart and it's the same process over again.
I finally hooked up my old CRT I was using before (writing this post with CRT connected) and everything is working flawlessly. So my question is, has anyone experienced anything like this before? If you have what was your final solution?
I plan on going out and buying another DVI cable and hope that I just have a bad cable, but other than that I don't know what to do. I'm also downloading and installing any drivers I can find for my hardware. Is there something obvious I'm missing or is the likely candidate the cable? Any suggestions are welcome.
