New PC on order - fingers crossed

Miscellaneous Forums/General Discussion/New PC on order - fingers crossed

I'm back - bought a brand new Phillips 17" with DVI lead.

Guess what - still no signal from the new computer.

I am using this new monitor now on my old computer - so I know the monitor is okay.

So, I am down on another £160.00. I thought I'd take the risk - but didn't work out.

I'm assuming the DVI connector on a graphics card is like the normal VGA D-Sub one - ie you don't have to activate it - it should just be plug-n-play.

The 8800 GTX has 2 DVI sockets - neither one is producing a signal.

Any ideas?
