Dual Monitor Problems
I was running win7 beta on this exact same computer setup back in the beta days. Everything worked perfectly then. Once I upgraded to my x64 retail win7 copy, my 2nd monitor went wonky on me. I know the monitor is not at fault, I have tested both extensively, both monitors work just fine on multiple computers for extended periods of time when running solo. However, when running dual setup on this box, my viewsonic goes all blinky on me. Its kind of hard to describe. Its not flickering per-say, its more like blinking or flashing. I can get the monitor to stop for a bit by turning it on and off again, but it eventually goes blinky again. To restate: it is not the monitor. If i unhook the other monitor and leave everything else the same, it is magically fixed. I have latest drivers for every possible piece of hardware in and out of my box that i can find. BIOS's have been flashed, etc. I have tested the video card as well, it doesn't seem to have this issues with any other setup. I am thoroughly stumped. I've even tested the RAM. Everything checks out. =P
Setup is:
ASUS P5N-T Deluxe
Core2Duo E6750
4GB RAM
EVGA Nvidia GeForce 9600GT 512MB
Samsung SyncMaster 204B Monitor (set as primary display)
ViewSonic VP2030B (set as secondary display)
running Windows 7 Pro x64
If anyone has had a similar issue and/or has a fix for this, please let me know. I have searched through these forums (and others) and have not yet found a satisfactory solution, however, I may have missed one... hopefully.
