jay Posted January 10, 2010 Report Share Posted January 10, 2010 Hi My monitor is a Viewsonic VX2260wm and has both DVI-D sinle link, and VGA sockets. When I connect the DVI-D cable there is "no signal" message onscreen. It works OK with the VGA connected to the graphics card, but not to the VGA on the motherboard. I have both cables connected at the moment, but I thought that to get best performance the DVI-D should work.Thank you Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fmw Posted January 10, 2010 Report Share Posted January 10, 2010 The problem is either in the DVI interface of the monitor or the graphics card - or possibly the DVI cable. The only way to find out is to substitute products that are known to be good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Boris Posted January 10, 2010 Report Share Posted January 10, 2010 You should only have one cable connected between the PC and your monitor. Remove the cable between the VGA socket on the motherboard and the monitor.Do you have a DVI connector on your graphics card ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It has 3 rows of 8 pins (plus flat pin with 4 around it), the cable supplied with monitor has 9+9 plus flat pin. Would I need to get another cable to suit, or would the supplied one fit? The VGA is in graphics card at moment. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
