But If I do ID a second larger display, the problem may solve itself.

Been discussing it with the system vendor, he is working with me. May end up just changing MB (to another model). Hate giving up the capeabilities of this one though.

Im beginning to think my ram may be woggy too (woggy ? <== made up word analogus to screwed up), but with the initializing the display problems, psu problems (doesnt start reliably) and probable mb bios or firmware issues, who knows where to start ?

Not looking forward to a "replace this....oh still dosent work...replace that.....oh still doesnt work" cycle.

Ill post when I get it squared away.


Well I got the DVI-D to VGA converter today. It is about the size of 2 of those cheap DVI to VGA converters put together and has some kind of microchip in a glass type case in the middle. I hope it works with the powered VGA splitter.
