Hi everyone,
My problem is that during Windows 7 Ultimate installation (right after the first reboot) the screen goes black! The monitor does not loose the signal because I can still see the green solid LED on it.
I have run into this issue four times with four different PCs with four different configurations. The only common denominator here is the type of video card (I say the type of video card because this has happened with different brands and models of video cards). This has happened only with video cards that have DVI, S-Video and VGA ports, but only on the ones that have the VGA port that PLUGS through a little ribbon cable to the card it self.
I have successfully installed Windows 7 on systems that have video cards with the same ports but the VGA port is solder to the card. WEEEEIIIIRRDDD!!!!!
It seems that after the first reboot and after it displays "Starting Windows", Windows thinks that the active port on the video card is the DVI port and NOT the VGA port that has been using up until that point!
I know this because I have used a DVI to VGA adapter right after the screen goes black and there it is! the setup process waiting for my input (create a user)...
Does anyone know something about this issue? Being that it has happen to me so many times it has to be a known issue but I was not able to find any info on it.
Can anyone point me in the right direction!
