I recently purchased an ASUS EAH4350 SILENT graphics card which has DVI, VGA & HMDI ports.

Initially I connected the VGA port to the same on my flat screen ACER monitor. OK - so far so good.

Because I wanted to connect the PC to my TV, I bought a DVI-D cable to connect the PC to the monitor, leaving the VGA port available for connection to the TV.

The link to the monitor is fine via DVI-D - No probs.

I bought a VGA to Composite video cable - and aaaggghh - no picture on the TV. I even tried putting the VGA output from the PC into a converter which has a standard phono out (yellow connection) for the TV - but still nothing.

Anyone any ideas whats going on ?? The VGA out worked originally when connected to the PC, so why doesn't it when I connect it to the TV (and use the DVI for the monitor) ??

Did you attempt to lower the resolution for your TV connection? If the resolution is too high, you won't get a signal on the TV.
