Hey guys,

I run two monitors on my machine, and overnight, my Daewoo has stopped working. No settings have been changed, and they were running just fine in Dualview (configured seperately from each other) Both monitors function properly during startup (mobo splash screen, windows loading screen) but afterwards, no dice.

Specs in the sig. Ideas?

Edit: Action taken - updated Forceware...no effect.

Sounds like the basic VGA output to the DaeWoo monitor is OK but the part of the video card that provides the highr resolution is either bad or overheating due to dust in the heatsink/heatsink loose.

I've seen the problem like yours and also the opposite way; no video with boot screen but full resolution OK. I believe that the basic VGA and the full resolution video are seperate in the video card.

Well I suppose I'll have to take it apart and use the trusty Dust-Off. Thanks for the tip, I'll let you know what happens.
