Hi Group,
I recently got an Acer AL1914SMD-8 LCD monitor. My desktop computer is
a compaq s6200cl (windows xp home, AMD 2800, 768Megs of ram, and with a
256MB ATI 9600 video card) The video card has an analog output and a
DVI output. When I use the DVI cable to the monitor and turn the power
on, the computer fans turn on, the power light turns on and the hard
drive light is on. The computer does not boot, no bios screen is
displayed and the monitor never detects the computer is turned on.
(the light stays amber color on the LCD monitor) When I use the analog
output on the video card, everything boots fine 100% of the time. Any
ideas why the DVI connection from the video card to the monitor will
not allow the computer to boot?
thanks,
Matt Meerian
