Hello everyone,
Starting today, my monitor won't come out of power save mode on bootup from a shut down or restarted system. I thought maybe it was my video card to blame, but I tried another monitor first... and it worked!
To check to see if maybe it was my DVI cable causing the problem, after booting up with the alternate monitor and getting to the desktop, I unplugged that monitor and plugged in the trouble monitor... which then "woke up" and started working again.
I checked to see if it was a fluke error and turned off my pc, and turned it back on... monitor won't initialize.
The problem seems to be only existent coming from a powered off mode. Anyone ever heard of this sort of thing? Is it my monitor? Videocard? DVI cable?
Any help would be extremely appreciated. I don't know if it makes a difference, but here are my pc specs which may play a role in this process.
AMD Phenom II x4 940 @ 3.6 on air
8gb gskill @ 800mhz (**** you AMD memory controllers)
ati hd 4870 1gb
The monitor is a hanns-g 19", JC199D
