Hi... Alright i got a second monitor to display as extended.. and it worked fine for about a week.. then i had to take my computer apart and do some cable management and switch the heat sink to exhaust out the back instead of the top.. and i put everything back in the case. it works fine with one display on the top dvi port. but then when i try to dual display with ..any.. other port. the top dvi just outputs a grey screen and the second one says no signal.. could the other ports be fried? Specs..

Cpu: Phenom II x4 965 BE
mobo: Asus m5a99x evo r2.0
ram: 8g kingston hyper genesis 1600
graphics: asus gtx 650 ti boost 2g
psu: corsair 500cx bronze
monitors: acer p206h 20" and asus mx239 23"
some input would nice. like i said was working fine for a week.. and yes i have checked all connections to make sure they're secure numerous times.


another thing to note.. as soon as a second cable is plugged in the vga led and boot device led turns red.

I have never experienced anything like that before (when my GPUs have died they just crapped right out:( )

I would say this is an issue with the GPU. Something to do with the video connectors themselves is pooched

One last thing to try would be load into windows with just you main monitor, make sure device manager doesn't detect any issues, then with the system still going try plugging in your second monitor. Other then checking the card in another rig this is all I can think to try.

Have tried that.. no go. any other suggestions.. i could try it in the second x16 slot below.. would that have a performance hit or much of a difference at all?

You COULD try the second PCIE slot. Although the mobo will only run it at x8 (as opposed to the full x16). You could see a small performance hit "top end" at x8. Could be something got messed up on the card during your cooler move. Or possibly your PSU is getting older and not delivering full power anymore. If you can, test the card on another rig to rule it out as being the culprit. I'd be surprised if it was the PSU though. I have that exact model on my old rig and mines been running like a champ for 2 years now.

Hi again.. I have not got a chance to try the card in a second rig yet.. but doing a little testing it seems strange.. only one port works period. the dvi-i port.. even if i just plug in my main monitor to either hdmi or the dvi-d port nothing happens the monitor stays asleep and when powering down the computer it acts up and powers down about 25 seconds after i hit the button.. but when i try dual monitor my main screens becomes a grey screen and the second monitor says no signal.. but it lets me see the bios on the the monitor plugged into the dvi-i port but then when booting into windows right after the splash screen it turn into no signal.. Have you heard/experienced anything similar to this? does it sound like a bad graphics card? or more of a mobo/cpu.. other than this it runs fine.. right now i am using it.. i can game on it fine.. temps are fine.. thanks in advance.

sorry also when I plug just one monitor into the dvi-d port I get the red vga led and it stays on and i just get single beeps every 15-20 seconds.. the boot device led as well. but when i try both monitors i don't get that it tries to boot into windows then just hangs..
