PC Display Prolem (geek alert)

[Nick]

Right, bought a new kick ass Phenom II Quad core PC. Also got a 26" Samsung Monitor (not LCD tv)

If i connect it via DVI cable to the Left DVI (i presume primary ?) Output on my graphics card, i get a load of blue flickering dots/pixels litering images. they aren't stuck/dead pixels as this problem totally dissapears when i connect the Monitor via the same DVI cable to the Right DVI (I presume secondary ?) Output on the graph card.

Problem is, i paid decent money for this computer and i have another 24" samsung on the way.

Any ideas, or is it gonna be a return on warrenty to have the card replaced ?

(I'm on windows 7 and i've updates the drivers to the latest x64 - but that's disregarding the fact that one of the DVI outputs works fine)

What GFX card is it?

[Nick]

Ati Radeon 4800HD !

So two outputs, monitor works on one but not the other?

Sounds daft, but have you checked display configurations to make sure the duff output is going out at the correct resolution/colour/frequency?

[Nick]

Both Configurations are bog standard.

All i've done is install the newest ATi Radeon 4800HD drivers, and then Also installed the Samsung T260 Drivers.

First port = Blue pixels littering images. (NOT LCD stuck pixels - as the image would be effected whereever you drag it across the screen)

Second Port = Totally fine.

So to me it seems like a physical issue with the Card ?

ATi Radeon cards are right ****ers to get right,

i had to buy a new power suply for mine, 600w was not good, had to go to 1000w just to power it, then a months of playing with the settings, even to get it to work, then another month to do all the 'internal' settings

well i hope it's right, its a prebuilt system from a big company ha !
