6870 Dual Display issues

[Onehate]

Current setup:
Windows 7
6870 MSI, Twin Fozzier II, RMAed to Twin Frozzier III
ASUS Motherboard M4A88TD EVO
Phenom 955

Issue:
Everything was working great the past two years, I have two monitors, a DVI and a VGA. I have the VGA hooked up to the top port, using a DVI adapter, the DVI has always been plugged into the bottom port.

I work from home and plugged my DVI monitor to my docking station so I could dual display my work laptop.

After I was done I went back to my desktop I plugged it back and rebooted. I am not sure what happened but the PC will no longer display anything with both monitors plugged in anymore.

Here is what I know,

*when I have both the monitors plugged in the PC will boot, IE I hear the Windows load chime
*Same thing happens if I have only the DVI monitor plugged in the bottom port
*When I have the vga plugged in the top port only everything works

The DVI monitor works, I have verified this, also when I have it plugged in the bottom port I am getting a signal sent to it, as the screen will switch from no signal received more to a blank screen as soon as I power up the desktop. Also after the PC boots I can unplug the cord from the cards bottom slot and plug it into the top one and the Windows screen looks fine.

I RMAed the first one thinking the bottom port went out, the new is doing the same thing. I also updated my BIOS to the lastest version and this did not do anything to resolve the issue.


Any help or suggestions would be much appreciated

Cheers

When you go to extend your desktop does windows see both screens?

Ok well this time I booted up with the monitor only plugged into the top port on the card. Once booted I plugged in the bottom one and heard Windows detect it. No blue screen or anything. I went into the AMD Vision control and it detects both monitors, but I cannot get it to display anything on the second monitor now. I know the cable is good b/c its the same one I use on my docking station when I am working on my laptop.

Any ideas? I have been playing with the settings the past 30 minutes and not getting any type of love here...

have you gone through windows screen resolution and extended the monitors?

The monitors are extended, I have set the one that works as primary. I have changed the resolution to everything on the secondary monitor and nothing seems to get it working...

Ok after messing with it, i realized it was showing up in analog mode. I had the VGA adapter and DVI plugged into the monitor. I unplugged the VGA adapter and it finally worked!! Thanks for the hand man!!

Cheers!!!
