DVI Video Power Save Mode
I have a Dimension 8300 with an Nvidia GeForce 5200 Video Card. My DVI video stopped working, and my monitor tells me its in power save mode. when i remove the cable from the computer it says to check cable, as there is no signal. which says to me that the monitor is getting a signal at least. the VGA part of the card works fine, no power save mode. I figured the DVI part of the card was bad, so I went and purchased a new DVI card. I get exactly the same message with the new card. Now im guessing the computer is not sending a signal through the DVI connector to tell the monitor to wake up. Swapped out the monitors to make sure it wasnt the DVI connector on the monitor, and got the same DVI power save message.
Any suggestions would be great. else i guess ill just have to use it in VGA mode.
