DVI problem

[taffy2jeffmorgan]

Hi. I have been having a persistent monitor display problem recently which is getting worse! especially when playing BoS  I loose the monitor picture every two seconds which can sometimes goes on and on.

 

This can be very frustrating, in fact its doing it now while i write this post !!!!!!!!!!

 

I have tried switching from port to port on my graphics card [GTX 970] but the fault persists, next i'll buy a new cable [ graphic card to monitor] and try that, and I suppose the worse scenario is that my monitor may need replacing.

 

Anyone else experienced this problem, or any other tests i can do.

 

 

Cheers.

Hi,I am something like the opposite of a computer ace.Maybe you can try to use HDMI instead of DVI?

Hi. I'v tried switching over to HDMI on my monitor but the problem still exists, It seems to come and go, sometime i can fly BoS for an hour and all is fine ? then other times it's so bat i have to switch off !

Well, then you know it's probably not the cable. Next you should try connecting your monitor to another computer, maybe a friend's laptop if you have only one computer at home. And/or connect your PC to another monitor, or to a TV.

Thanks Coconut. That's another idea, rule out, if possible the monitor

I have just fitted a new monitor to graphics card cable and have been on my computer for the last hour [boS] and not a single DVI message, so fingers crossed !
