Which cables would be the most likely problem. I built this system since the spring 14 from scratch. Everything is new.Have you also checked or exchanged the cables?
Since the last post someone suggested tieing a tv into the computer using a HDMI cable. I had the monitor running with desktop showing and I played CivV on the tv. The tv had no problem but the monitor flashed 3 times. I installed a new DVI cable. still flashed. With the monitor flashing and the tv ok, wouldn't that eliminate the memory, graphics cards, plugins to the motherboard and the motherboard itself unless the tv reacts differently then the monitor???I'd check everything as a matter of course particularly the HDMI cable and the like (or whatever connection/cable your using). It's not unknown for brand new goods to have faults and if you have a older spare I'd give it a go. I mean you've pretty much tried everything else and you just never know.
I can do the VGA or the HDMI. I will start with the HDMI then the VGA. ThanksI recently had an issue with two different monitors where the DVI connection on the monitor itself was the problem. I switch to a VGA cable and problem solved.
Do you have the option on your particular monitor to switch to either VGA or HDMI cable for testing to see if it is the DVI port on the monitor?
I had two DVI cables and two monitors plus I pulled one graphic card then switched between them. I would think both ASUS graphic cards and both ASUS monitors would use the same DVI port. I think there is a problem in all ASUS DVI ports.Thanks for letting us know how you're progressing.
I'd be interested in hearing what the ultimate solution might be......
DVI cable, DVI port on the Graphics Card or DVI port on the Monitor itself.
As Kemical pointed out earlier, sometimes poorly made cables with bad inefficient shielding or bad ferrite beads / chokes (those plastic hump things you'll often see at either or sometimes both ends of the cables) can allow EMF interference that an otherwise good cable will prevent.
I suppose that, that is certainly possible.I think there is a problem in all ASUS DVI ports.
