Hello,
I've read a couple of topics on this, but not come across a solution that works for me.
My Dell monitor has a vga port, my Nvidia card has 2 dvi ports. I have a vga to dvi converter connect my monitor to the video card. This used to always work.
For some reason, now, as soon as I connect the converter to the vga cable that's plugged into the monitor the monitor goes in standby.
When I connect the vga with dvi converter to the dvi port on my video card nothing happens, it remains in standby. Rebooting and all that doesn't help. I've taken out my videocard twice to make sure it was connected correctly, but the problem seems to be between the vga/dvi converter and the monitor. I've also changed vga cables, but same thing happens.
Either there's some type of configuration of the monitor that I need to change for it to read the dvi converted signal, or the converter is broken. I doubt it's broken, but I'll get another one tomorrow to see if that solves the problem.
Anyone have any ideas why the monitor instantly goes into standby mode when I connect the converter?
Thanks!
