Windows 7: ATI / Windows 7 Detects False Monitor

I have Windows 7 Home 64 bit installed on an ASUS G73JH With an ATI Mobility Radeon HD 5870. My problem... Whenever I start the monitor up, whether it be turn the laptop on, or just wake it from sleep it detects a false non-generic pnp monitor. I do not have any extra monitors, it is just my laptop. Can anyone help me find a solution to getting this fixed please?

Bump. Any help?

Apparently no one knows?

Hi

Welcome to Seven Forums
Have you tried updating your card drivers? And the chipset drivers?

Keep us posted and regards

Also have a look at this thread - All the G73JH Problems and solutions here!

Regards

All of those problems are ones i do not have. Also my drivers and chipset are all up to date. So... idk what else to do.

I had an experience with this on an ATI HD 2xxx series card a while back. I don't know how it appeared, but the only way I "solved" it was to open CCC and disable the phantom monitor. To the best of my recollection, it did not reappear after disabling it in CCC.

Well, it keeps showing up even after I disable it in the CCC. this is making me sad

When you click on the picture of the monitor and select Properties in CCC, what info does it give you about the phantom monitor?

EDIT: Just thought of something... Have you by chance hooked this pc to a television? I remember having a "remnant" monitor in CCC after hooking my pc (the one with the ATI HD 2xxx card) to a television once. I had connected it via the S-Vid out on the card. And again, to repeat myself, to the best of my recollection, I removed it by disabling it.

Doesn't sound like this is too much help, though.

I'll post back if I remember something or if I can recreate it (it was in Vista, though)

I'll get back to you with the properties info. when I re-create it. No, My laptop has never been connected to any other display device. Thank you for your help. I'll see what else I can do as well.
