About the Author

I am associated with this technology DVI-D to VGA, VGA to DVI-D, DVI to VGA converter from last 12 years. I always try to provide quality information for the users.

my graphic card has 1 vga port and 1 dvi port but my dvi port reads no signal when hooked up?

dvi has no signal vga works fine.do i have a bad dvi port on my nvidia 7600 gs agp card?or is it my new lcd envision monitor,or do i need more power supply i only have 250 watts.
and i also tried new dvi cables nothing seems to give me digital signal….even install all new drivers for the whole system.
ive heard of a bios flash but that seems to risky for me..please help

I have this same problem
2 identical NVidia cards
and 2 identical LCD panel monitors

On this PC the DVI works
on the other it doesn’t

The problem appears to be from using the stock
DVI to DB-15 plug prior to getting the DVI monitors
in the DVI adaptor is a flat wide pin to tell the video
card you are using an analog monitor
when the plug adaptor is removed sometimes the connection
in the plug of video card remains closed and thus the DVI
connector not using this pin cant reset it
the Monitor wants a digital signal from the Video card
the Video card is sending an analog EVGA signal

unfortunately its the DVI output of the Video card that
isnt working properly

you can take the monitor in to computer shop
I am certain they will show you it is working
