Re: Media Centre - the monitor goes black.


Let me know if you find a solution to this. I also have
a Gateway 21' widescreen monitor, that I had hooked up to my
Sony cpu using DVI into a newly installed nvidia 7600GS graphics
board. Everything was working correctly, including HD dualview, but
after a system crash (unreleated) and a Windows restore, I've lost my
DVI
out. The DVI still works on the monitor, but it's not getting a signal
from the graphics card. I'm using VGA, which still works great, and the
component video to my 60" widescreen HD TV still works perfectly, but
I simply can't find out why this card isn't now sending out a DVI signal
when
it was fine before the crash. I've swapped out two different graphics
cards,
both with DVI out, and neither of them will output DVI either. I've
pretty much
given up on finding what the solution is to this, unless someone from MS
that reads
this group knows if this is a Windows issue related to either EDID or
HDCP.

Hi Joaquim
Is this by any chance a Gateway system with a digital monitor? I had the
same problem when trying to set my screen resolution to 1920x1200. The
screen would go black when rebooting and the only way to get it back was
turn the system off and restart. Has been sent back and it does the same
thing after installing all of my software. I am in the process now of trying
to find the piece of software that causes this problem.
