I have a PC with dual monitors. Both monitors worked fine for a year, but one day the second display stopped working, and the second monitor
It’s an Intel based system with PCI-E ATI HD2600 Video card with dual DVI out. Monitors are both identical Acer 22 inch LCDs.
The issue is that monitor A shows a proper display, but monitor B is blank and goes into power save mode.
If I switch monitor A with monitor B, same result. Hence, both monitors are in working condition.
If I swap DVI cable A with DVI cable B, same result. Hence, both DVI cable are in working condition.
I’ve tried replacing the video card with a new PCI-E card of a different brand. Same result. Hence the video card is not broke.
If I only plug one monitor into the video card’s DVI output A, it’ll work. If I only plug one monitor into the video card’s DVI output B, it’ll work. Hence, both DVI outputs on the video card work, just not at the same time.
Issue occurs the same during POST, as well as in Windows and Ubuntu. It’s not a driver issue. I’ve tried updating the drivers.
I’m not sure what this could be.
