Everything is so tight in this little office that I've been squirming around all over the place and under the desks...

I unplugged the monitor and plugged in another monitor. When the first monitor is powered up and not plugged in, it give a very quick box that says "no signal or cable disconnected". When plugged into the card, it says the same. It's not possible to change the cable on any of my monitors since it's hardwired into the monitor; only the power cable comes unplugged.

When the second monitor is powered up and not plugged in, it rotates between a dark screen with four boxes (like the screen is divided into fourths) and a light screen with four boxes. When plugged into the card, it continues the same thing.

Seems like the monitors are okay and must be the card. I'll be taking off the case to make sure everything is plugged in, and if so, time for some new parts.

My present video card is a gigabyte Radeon 9200. Processor is AMD Athlon XP 2500+, Mobo is Biostar M7NCD Pro.

Further suggestions or questions?

Dave
