    ATI X850XT second port issue

    Sorry for the delay in responding. I updated the drivers and I still get intermittent errors. If I switch off the monitors at the plug I can't get it to find the DVi monitor when I switch them back on. This has been solved again in a roundabout way. I have to start Screen Resolution or ccc and...

    ATI X850XT second port issue

    Managed to find a workaround that is almost working. I can get the two displays to work in Windoze by forcing ccc to add another monitor. It's still not working within BIOS and Aero doesn't work if I watch any films but I think that's less of an issue than only having one to watch on. A tad...

    ATI X850XT second port issue

    ps, I do have an Image backup on my drive which I think may have been done prior to my changing of the card but obviously trying to avoid this as I have installed a few programs and tweaked a few others in the last week. I'd like this to be a final resort if possible update: Here's a pic of DM...

    ATI X850XT second port issue

    Ah ok, but it states in Speccy that it has two cards just that they're not both running. I'll do a screenshot for you.

    ATI X850XT second port issue

    Ah, the x850xt is a crossfire card in one board. Always showed as 2 in DM prior to this issue. Monitor was connected via dvi and the tv via vga but now only the vga output is working.

    ATI X850XT second port issue

    The spec is an ASRock Fatail1ty pro mobo with i7 2600k and 8GB of vengeance ram. The monitors are a Toshiba 42" TV and an Acer V243H I know it's an old card considering the spec of everything else but I just sold the card that was in it to a friend as he was on an even more ancient one and this...

    ATI X850XT second port issue

    I'm having an issue with an old x850xt I have installed in my second pc which runs on the TV in my bedroom. For some reason it won't show the secondary card within Win 7. Allow me to clarify somewhat. A week ago I noticed that running a film in vlc forced Aero to switch off so I went and tried...
