I have just finished putting a new tv card in my pc, I turn it on, and my second monitor wont turn on. I have 2 19inch monitors running off my BFG 7900GT oc. I tried swapping the two plugs around, and worked out that the top most of the two dvi connecters has stopped outputting. I can only get a picture on either monitor from my second dvi out.
I have tried a number of new drivers, but I dont think it could be that, as the second screen does not work in bios either, normaly I get two cloned screens when booting up. This is no longer the case. When in bios the monitor that doesnt work flicks green then back to no signal every few seconds, I sometimes see a little flicker then it goes again.

I also tried un plugging my new tv card, in case there was an issue with power, this how ever did not help. I am really stumped now, I am hoping this wont end up having to send it back as I have uni work to be getting on with :(.

Thanks guys.
 
I just randomly decided to plug a dvi to vga connecter in, and strangely the screen now works. I dont understand what is going on now, it apears to only work using a dvi to vga, not pure vga. Any ideas?
