LCD Monitor issue/VGA output

It sounds like the monitor does not support 1280x1024 resolution, which is what the VGA port will default to when the OS has loaded - it is much lower before which is why you see the BIOS screen without problems.

The VGA port is monitor 1, not 2 - you will need to attach a monitor (DVI or VGA) that supports 1280 resolution, and then lower the resolution setting for monitor 1. I would start with 1024x768.

Alternatively, you can usually find DVI monitors that support 1280+ resolution relatively cheaply.

Hmm. Helpful hint but the I have had that monitor since I bought the board about 5-6 months ago and it has always worked just fine. The issue started occuring yesterday after one of my crew member accidentally pulled power to the console without properly shutting down the system. I have an elo touch screen in my DVI output that still works just fine. Any other suggestions??

Had a similar issue on our Eos, which was quickly fixed by a deep clear and a restart (on both master and client desks).

Hope that helps you out

Can you confirm which output of the splitter the DVI monitor is in? If it is in 1, the VGA won't work.

With just the DVI monitor in splitter way 1, can you lower the resolution as described?
