I've just put together a basic systme revolving around the Abit IP35 Pro and the Sapphire X1950 Pro gfx card. running 2gig memory and the Q6600 processor with a COrsair 520W power supply

Setup:
DVI connection to LCD monitor works fine on its own in DVI1

DVI connection to LCD monitor works fine on its own in DVI2

DVI connection to LCD monitor and DVI to VGA connector to LCD tv and it fails to POST

DVI to VGA connector to LCD tv and DVI connection to LCD monitor and it fails to POST


The LCD tv with the VGA connector worked fine with my Radeon 9800 pro


What could be the problem? have i missed something in the BIOS? what am I doing wrong? :(

I really need to connect my tv to my graphics card along with the monitor...

pleeeeeease help!


/update:

the DVI to VGA connector to LCD tv on its own in DVI1 works as a monitor

the DVI to VGA connector to LCD tv on its own in DVI2 fails to POST


Am I missing something here?
