Need help with computer not recognizing monitors?
-
For over a year I have had a 19" Acer lcd monitor hooked to my computer via DVI. I got a new Dell 23" monitor today and plugged the DVI cable into it and booted up my pc, but after the starting windows screen it said it had no dvi connection. I tried putting the DVI cord back into my Acer monitor and it will not work there either. Now I can only connect via vga with both monitors and would really like to get DVI working again. I have already made sure I have all the drivers, removed them, and installed them again to no avail. I have tried pretty much everything and cannot find a solution. Please help me...

Answer:
What's happening is that the BIOS and Windows are disagreeing over what video hardware is primary. So until Windows takes over, you get a display on your monitor. As soon as Windows takes over, the display moves to some other device such as the video port on your motherboard. The simplest fix is to disable the motherboard video in your BIOS. But you can also change the primary video device from within Windows.
