Hi All
I am hoping someone can help me.
I am running an AMD System with Windows XP home.
I have connected up my Samsung 226BW and something strange is going on.
My GFX Card is a Nvidia Geoforce 6600 GT 256mb (Possible needs upgrading)
If I connect the 226BW using the Analog connection with the adaptor then it works no problem but seems like I am wasting half the capabilities of the screen.
As soon as I connect using the DVI cable the following happens.
The boot up and welcome to XP loading screen display and then when it should display the Logon screen I just get a black screen and the power light flashes as if it standby mode but wont come out of it.
I have tried starting in safe mode and it doesnt matter what resolution I try I get the black screen. I have set the refresh rate to 60hz but no joy. I have downloaded the new graphics card drivers from NVidia but the same story.
Do I need a new graphics card or is there some setting that I am missing. (If I need a new GFX Card please let me know if you are using one with the 226BW)
I would appreciate any advise, thanks in advance
