i rebooted my pc about 2 hours ago and upon getting back to the xp welcome screen my monitor lost signal (hanns-g HU196D) but i can still hear windows loading.
after lots of messing about in safe mode reinstalling drivers etc i eventually swapped back to my crt and that works perfectly.
i then added my tft as a second monitor and it works fine until it gets to the welcome screen but then it looses signal again and doesn't show up as being connected in ati control panel or device manager.
started in safe mode with vga and it again works in xp fine but it still isn't getting picked up by windows as being connected although its displaying xp lol. tried the tft as the primary and secondary monitor and still no show.
i pretty sure its something relating to the res or refresh rate but changing them doesn't affect it.
im using a dvi connection and i dont have a vga cable anymore for it,
any ideas?
