Hi
I have a desktop PC running with a Gigabyte GA-A320M-2SH MB and an AMD Ryzen processor with Vega graphics. I’ve been using the MB VGA output to a VGA monitor with no issues.
I’m getting a new monitor soon that has HDMI inputs so, as I wanted a little more grunt than the IGP would give so, I’ve popped in a Gigabyte GeForce GTX 1050 Ti 4 GB GDDR5 128 bit Graphics Card….I don’t intend to play game on it.
The GTX 1050 has DP, HDMI and DVI-D outputs so, as an interim, I’ve disable to IGP and purchased an active DVI-D to VGA converted to connect to the current VGA monitor.
Now, here’s the query…..when I switch on, I get no signal at all on the monitor but the PC boots OK. If I remote desktop in, it’s all booted up but, if I look under Device Manager, no monitor is present. If I power down, disconnect and reconnect the adaptors DVI from the graphics card and the VGA cable from the adaptor and power back up again, all is good; the monitor now appears under Device Manager and the resolution is all correct.
I get no picture issues when it’s working which suggests all the connections are good. I just can’t figure out why I need to disconnect and reconnect to get it work after it’s been switched off.
