I regularly had problems with my monitor on my old desktop - the screen would go black for a few seconds, and then come back on, with an error message saying that the "AMD driver had stopped working, but recovered successfully" or something similar.
I just built a new PC this weekend, new video card but the same monitor. The problem is getting worse. It's especially bad when rebooting -sometimes I get to the "windows" splash and then it quits, which made me think that it was still a driver problem. However, I also tried plugging it directly into the DVI port on my motherboard, and it still doesn't work- does that eliminate the drivers as the issue?
Secondly, I also swapped it out with my wife's monitor, which has been working just fine with my video card (with no attempt to fix any drivers), and I connected my monitor to her new PC (which has the same model of video card), and I get nothing but a black screen on her computer too.
Is there any chance it's still a driver problem I should continue to investigate, or should I give up and get a new monitor?
