I have come across a very odd situation involving my monitor and a GFX card. I hope this doesn't become too long winded.
My monitor is a 27" Asus ASUS VE278Q. When I bought it I plugged it into my HD7950 using the DVI and it worked fine. After a few years, for whatever reason I wanted to switch it to the HDMI port from the card. To my puzzlement it would not pick up the signal. I switched back to the DVI assuming the HDMI on the card or monitor was faulty and left it.
I built a new rig to replace my old one that would be hooked up to the same monitor. The GFX card in it is a HD7870. I plugged it in using the DVI. No signal. I tried with HDMI. No signal. Puzzled, I plugged it into another monitor with DVI. Worked perfect. And another monitor (projector) with HDMI. Worked perfect.
So I took the HD7870 out and put it in my OLD build. Didn't work. Extremely puzzled I put the HD7950 that worked in my old rig with the monitor, into the new rig with DVI. It works.
So apparently I have a monitor that will only work with ONE GFX card? And only with DVI.
I have never experienced anything like this before. How can it be? I have unplugged the monitor for extended lengths thinking it might be some weird PnP thing.
Any ideas folks?
