GTX460 SC/Dual Monitors This new card is working okay for the most part, except that unlike my old card, which would send a signal to both my LED and CRT monitors during the BIOS run and after reaching desktop, this one only shows a black screen on the CRT until the desktop appears.
I have tinkered with the Nvidia Control Panel settings, which as expected, had no effect on displays prior to commencing Windows.
As far as I understand, this only leaves BIOS settings, but I don't know of any settings that would improve this...is there? | My System Specs |

Unplug the LCD. Theres something about HDTV connects to HDTV's. They do not display the bios POST screen. Once inside bios, you can see if you can assign the CRT as default monitor.
Inside Windows display you can assign which is primary monitor.
The CRT has a 15 pin plug?
Your vid card has two DVI outputs?
You use DVI to 15pin Dsub adapter for CRT?
LCD input is? DVI, HDMI, RGB?????
You list 2 vid cards, same machine? The GTS for PHYSX?
Both monitors in the 480 card? | My System Specs | | System Manufacturer/Model Number DIY #3, #2 OS W7 Ulti/64, XP Pro/32 CPU INTEL i7 920 DO, Core2 Duo 6400 Motherboard GIGABYTE EX58 UD3R-SLI, EP45-UD3R Memory KINGSTON DDR3 1333MHz, CORSAIR DDR2 800MHz Graphics Card EVGA GTX 260 x2, 8800 GTX Sound Card REALTEK HD onboard, ditto Monitor(s) Displays SONY 40" BRAVIA LCD Screen Resolution 1360 X 768 Keyboard MS Mouse MS PSU COOLERMASTER 900W, ENERMAX 850W Case COOLERMASTER HAF 932 x2 Cooling stock Hard Drives OCZ VERTEX/RAID0 -3, Vertex 30GB Internet Speed ADSL 3MB/768KBs Other Info amateur enthusiast |
