I've had my Viewsonic VX2025wm for about a month now, everything has been great till today.
1.) I played some Oblivion.
2.) I had some errands, so I put my comp into Stand-By mode.
3.) About thirty minutes late,r I returned to my comp and exited sleep mode.
4.) My monitor was acting strangely; I could move my cursor to the right and more space would appear. It seemed like my GuI had "grown" larger than my monitor.
5.) I checked my Monitor's resolution, and oddly enough it said my Rez was 640x800.. yet none of my icons seemed gargantuan and blurry like they normally do at that res.
6.) I tried to set my Res back to 1680x1055, but windows wouldn't let me go past some weird res, like 1520x900. A strange number I had never seen before.
7.) I restart my computer, hoping this problem will resolve itself. My monitor says "No signal."
8.) I check my wires, I make sure everything is properly connected, then I try to boot up again. Still a no go. I turn off my computer and hook up my monitor to one of my older computers, my monitor boots up fine.
9.) My old computer uses an AGP video card, so I figure maybe my 7800 GT or my Monitor has a DVI port problem, so I use the Analog converter thingy and I hook my Viewsonic VX2025wm back up to my 7800 gt. Now, it works.
My question is this.. why won't my Monitor work with my GT when I use my DVI cord?
My monitor is working fine right now with the Analog cord, but not the DVI cord.
