I got a new monitor about a year ago and tried to hook it up via DVI but could never get it to work (it would never show a picture and the monitor would just go into power save mode). So for the last year I have been running it via a VGA cable which is connected, via an adaptor, to the same DVI port that didn't seem to work. I just assumed it was a problem with the monitor. I recently tried another monitor and it did the same when connected via DVI, no picture and powersave, but again it worked with VGA.

After this I assume there must be a problem with the GFX card (or the software), anyone have any ideas what it could be?

Yeah it's on auto, and when I try it on DVI it does the same thing on this PC. I tested both monitors on another PC via DVI and both worked. Thats how I narrowed it down to the GFX card. :)
