Bad dvi-d output (GTX 670)?

[leeo]

Hello,

so here is my situation..
I bought a gtx 670 dcII 2gb in februari, worked great so far.
Today i turned on my computer and my monitor stays black (i hear it boot up to windows).

My specs:
Q6600 - stock 2.4ghz
Asus GTX 670 dcII 2GB
AsRock G41m-GS3
8GB DDR3 Veangence Corsair
CoolerMaster GX 650 Watt

Mosly i play Battlefield 3 / CoD's with good fps and i don't notice any or much bottleneck. I know my CPU & motherboard are outdated to utilize my videocard at it fullest, i am planning on upgrading this in a month or two.

I switched back to my old videocard GTX 275 and this works (so my monitor and cable are working).
My monitor is a 22" packard bell with only vga so im using a dvi-i adapter.
The strange thing is when i hook my computer with the GXT 670 to my HDTV trough hdmi it works. So tomorrow i'll go buy a vga to dvi-i cable and test that out. Maybe its due to the dvi-i converter im using?

Any advice what else i could try would be much appreciated!

Thanks

Excuse my English..

Depends on the DVI connector on the card. Some are not compatible with converters...

Thanks for replying.
Im using the same DVI-I connector as before.

I uninstalled the drivers with the gtx275, turned off the computer - put back the gtx670 in and now it works. Reinstalled the drivers and now its up and running again. So it due to the driver? But how come when i connected to my HDTV it worked?

So has it worked before? This link states that there's one DVI port that's DVI-I (can do both DVI-D/HDMI and VGA signals) while the other is just a DVI-D port (can't do VGA signals), so did you test with both DVI ports?

This was what I was trying to remember (DVI-I and DVI-D), well done Orcvader.
