Ok, got a new monitor for the wife from a friend. Uses a DVI (single I think) cable. Her vid card has a slot for it.
So, we plug it in, turn the PC on, and the screen is pink but otherwise works. As soon as she gets into Windows, the screen goes to sleep. So I think maybe it's registering as a 2nd monitoring and isn't set up to show an image. I grab my monitor (uses an 15HD cable), plug it in, and nothing.
So I unplug the new one, leave mine plugged in and reboot the machine. Everything works perfectly. I then plug the DVI cable back in, and bam MY monitor goes to sleep, and the other one still does nothing.
I'm thoroughly stumped. Any idea's?
