This morning my monitor wouldnt work. I figured no signal since it was just black and the power light was flashing. I assumed it was my mobo bc I have onboard video. I dont have a vga port just a dvi so I swapped mobos and am now using vga on a different monitor.
A buddy of mine says he experiences this from time to time and its the DVI locking up or freezing. He runs a "program" via floppy at start up to unlock the DVI. He claims he inserts the floppy and restarts the computer and then it works.
Anyone heard of this? I cant find anyone who has. He forwarded me the file but I dont even have a floppy drive. I guess I can usb thumb drive it but my screen is black I cant even see if its doing anything.
I havent attempted it yet bc I have to swap mobos again to do it on the DVI mobo. Thought Id ask before going through the trouble of a mobo swap again.
