a read somewhere that some people have "cold boot" problems with there video card, im not quite sure what it is. I heard somewhere that the video card has to "warm up" sometimes. please clarify this for me.
i have a BFG 6800 GT overclocked to 400/1100. About every 3-5 times when i turn on the computer, everything turns on (fans spin, HDD activity), but the monitor doesnt show a signal (the LED turns orange). i know its not the monitor, the same thing happened when i tried with another monitor. this began to happen when i changed my 5900 Ultra to the 6800 GT.
Has this happened to anyone else? What are some possible solutions to this? Raising the AGP Voltage to 1.6-1.65 from a default 1.55 ? Could it be the DVI cable? Could it be the monitor (Sony 19" LCD SDM-HS94P) needs time to "warm up" ?? Please help!! any input would be appreciated.
