I don't know if there is anything else i can try to make the DVI work. Everything else is fixed now. ^^

MOSTLY FIXED PROBLEM: (diagnosed at least)
I had two DVI cables connected to two LCDs on my 8800GTS. The primary display is a Westinghouse, the secondary is a Viewsonic. They both worked perfectly after building the computer. I disabled the secondary display to run benchmarks (3dmarks, SuperPi, orthos etc) and now when i wanted to enable the second display again, the Display Properties -> Settings tab only has one monitor listed (the Primary Westinghouse). I tried the NVIDIA control panel, but that also only detects one display.
When I switch cables, the Secondary display shows the correct image, but only until I reboot.
EDIT: The DVI port on the 2ndary display isn't working properly. On a different computer, connecting the dvi port to the video card (with 2 different cables) prevented the system from booting. I am testing DVI->VGA adapter to see if that would fix the problem. I will also look into the cost of repair.
SECOND FIXED: (used new beta 162.15 forceware to fix it)
The primary display is acting strangely again... I thought I fixed it too. The westinghouse acts as a monitor, and can display 4:3 or 16:9, but when I choose a 4:3 resolution the image is stretched and it switches to 1080i mode instead of 1080p. Using the Forceware 158.22 drivers, will try the new beta drivers. It must be a driver issue, because my geforce2MX makes the 4:3 or 16:9 work correctly. (except at 1920x1080 but that is probably hardware limitations on that older card.)
Here is my system info from my other thread http://www.hardforum.com/showthread.php?t=1203939
