Hello, I have been having an issue with my dvi connection from my monitor to my video card. Everything was working fine, I opened up my tower to add a few fans, nothing major. After doing this, the display was still working fine. However, I have been removing/reinserting the monitor into the port very often recently. I left my pc on, when I got back the screen was black with my mouse cursor in the middle. I restarted my computer and things were fine. Next time I left my computer, I came back and there was no signal on the display. I'm not sure if the events are related in any way but now I can't get any signal on my display via the dvi port.
However, I plugged another monitor in using hdmi and the display worked fine. I had to rush out for work but when I get home I will test the monitor on another computer and test a new dvi cable. However, I was considering going out and buying a new monitor that I can just use HDMI for because my current one is old and doesn't have this option. However, if the issue goes deeper, maybe a faulty video card, I will hold off on a new monitor. I can deal with a broken DVI port on the video card as long as HDMI continues to work. Just wondering if anyone has any suggestinos, or if you can confirm that it is probably just the dvi port on my video card that went bad. I have an HD6850. Thanks!
