Hey ppl, i have been having a strange problem the last few weeks. First off, i use my pc for watching videos and playing a game (world of warcraft).
I am using a 9800GX2 gpu which has two DVI ports. The problem is i hook my monitor up to the DVI port at the top and i see no video whatsoever in any media player (WMP VLC etc) only a blank screen with audio, even with the latest codecs and what not. Apart from that the pc boots and acts normally and runs video games normally.
Now i hook my monitor up to the second DVI port and the video files works fine. I can log into my online game for 10 mins or so until the monitor switches itself off and says power saving mode. Now my friend plays the same game on another computer in the house and when my monitor turns black and displays the message he says i have been kicked off the game. So im guessing the pc completely freezes even though i cant see the anything but power saving mode.
Any help would be appreciated as this graphics card was expensive and need to know if i need a replacement or if there is something else wrong with the pc.
Thx!
