Hi, I've been experiencing a recurring problem with my MSI 7850oc although I'm not sure if another component could be causing the problem.
Whenever I boot there's a very good chance that my monitor will not show a display signal and I say chance because I can reboot 2-10 times before I get a display. I may get a signal on the 1st reboot or the 10th; there is no observable pattern.
I tried using the MB graphics via vga and I get a picture (the card doesn't have VGA). The problem persists when I use another monitor with hdmi/dvi. I've tried both hdmi/hdmi and dvi/hdmi with my own monitor and gfx card and the random display issue still occurs.
It seems as if the card itself may be an issue but it works flawlessly the rest of the time and I doubt its the cable or monitor for reasons outlined above.
This is a budget build about 4 months old now and and this display issue has persisted in varying degrees since then. In that time I have re-installed windows 7, and gone through 2-3 driver revisions (on 13.5beta now).
The rest of my specs are as follows:
i3-3220
4GB DDR3 RAM
MSI Z77-G43
There are probably some other solutions I've yet to try but am unaware of, some suggestions would be much appreciated.
