Hi, ill try explain this best i can to see if anyone has any idea whats wrong with my monitor.

Im trying to get my old monitor to work so i can have dual monitors, it worked a few months back before i stopped using it and now it seems to have gone weird! It is a LG W2243S, Every time i plug it in i get the LG Logo and then a message POWER SAVING MODE and then it turns black. It only has a d-sub connecter so im using a d-sub to dvi cable into my graphics card.

I have tried the same cable on my main monitor to check if it was faulty and it worked fine. Also tried a factory reset on the monitor.

Weird thing is i tried it on another computer and it does work but the screen comes up all pink but it is showing an image, Do you think its faulty?

Any ideas thanks.

Specs
i5 760
2x6870
8gb ram

Also like to add that when i plug in my second monitor to the graphics card, Both screens turn black and the graphics card's fan goes really loud. I will get no picture back on my main monitor until i unplug my faulty monitor and restart the machine.
