The Solution Rating System

With so many solutions, how can you tell which solutions are most likely to help you and which ones are not? To provide you with a tool to use, we rate our solutions based on various elements that most accurately determine if a solution is a quality solution. To explain what factors affect the solution rating, here are the elements we take into consideration when formulating our solution rating.

  • The Grade of the Solution
  • The Zone Rank of the Expert Providing the Solution
  • The Number of Author and Expert Comments
  • The Number of Experts Contributing
  • The Feedback of the Community

Your Input Matters
Because of the way the system is set up, the most important variable in this equation is you. As a member of Experts Exchange, you are able to cast your vote on the quality of the solutions in regard to how complete, accurate, helpful and easy to understand each solution is. When you provide your feedback, each rating is adjusted accordingly. So, if you see a solution that has a poor rating that you think is a good solution, let us know by rating it. As you do, the rating will be adjusted and will become more accurate for other members of our site.

If you have any suggestions that you would like to make for our rating system, please ask a question in the Suggestions Zone of Community Support.

Thank you!

Video Card does not show images with DVI port, but does with VGA ports Why?

Asked by Seoulkid in LCD & Plasma, Video Cards, Computer Displays / Monitors

Tags: NVidia, Samsung, Video Card : GE FORCE Monitor: SyncMaster, Video Card: GT 8600 Monitor T220

Hi Guys

I just bought a Samsung LCD (Model T220).  The computer I have is pretty good, its a Dell Inspiron 530.  Anyways in it has a Video card from Nvidia  GE Force 8600.  This card has only 2 DVI ports and no vga ports.  The samsung has a DVI port and a VGA port.  

I put the DVI port with cable and connected it to the computer via the video card, nothing showed up.  The monitor would just have its monitor power button blink.  Luckily for me, I have a vga converter which I used in one of the DVI ports and it worked.  The problem is that it stays in Analog.  It will not work with a DVI port.  When I connect with the DVI port it just shows that blank screen and I know that the computer is already booted up, because I'll change back the to the VGA mode and it will work instantaneously.  

The monitor did come with a driver which I did install and can see its been recognized by the computer in the Display panel.  However, sometimes when I do install it and reboot and go back to the display panel it show a Generic Model again (this is only when I connect with a VGA port DVI converter)

I've also tried to reinstall the video drivers but my computer is Vista, so when I boot up the computer automatically reinstalls the video card regardless.

 I've also tried to connect with the other port (since there are 2), but I've had no luck.

My two questions (which are probably just one) is how can I make my computer use the DVI ports and how can I keep it in Digital Mode and not Analog.  

Thanks
