GeForce3 Ti500 and LCD problem

[oasisman]

I am trying to hook-up a Viewsonic VP201s LCD monitor to a computer with a Nvidia Geforce3 Ti500 video card and I can not get the DVI connection to work. The analog connection works but no luck with the DVI connection. I have installed all the latest drivers and am running Windows 2000 Pro.

If anyone has any ideas on how to get the DVI connection to work it would be much appreciated.

Thanks in advance!!!

Are you hooking up the LCD to the card by itself ? The TI500 even though it has two outputs (VGA & DVI) it only has one Ramdac so it will be the same image on the both outputs. If while you hook up your LCD to the DVI port, you are using a CRT on the VGA port, it might be trying to set the same refresh rate for both monitors (LCDs rarely go above 60hz).

trying to hook up the LCD to the DVI only, no CRT involved. I can see the boot screen but once it switches to the start-up screen the monitor goes blank and no signal is detected.

Boot into safe mode, set the refresh rate back to 60hz, then reboot.

already have done that :-(

did you forget to.

set your lcd monitor to dvi. should be a function on your osd on the monitor.
