Title: Why do I get an out of range error when I use DVI but VGA is fine? Post by: nemo on July 02, 2011, 06:45:17 AM HD 5970 with dual DVI and 1 mini dvi port. If I use a cheap DVI to VGA converter then I can get all ranges shown. If I take off the adaptor and just go straight through DVI then I can't see anything other than an "Out of range" red box in the center of a black screen.
I've tried multiple operating systems, drivers, nothing seems to work. Has anybody ever seen anything like this before? My monitor accepts both DVI and VGA, it's a 22 inch westing house L2610NW.

Post by: 3phase on July 02, 2011, 07:23:05 AM I can only think of a defective DVI cable where maybe one of the pins does not make good contact.
Maybe try another cable? Title: Re: Why do I get an out of range error when I use DVI but VGA is fine? Post by: Oldminer on July 02, 2011, 07:28:04 AM Most monitors will auto-detect but just make sure its not set manually to analog instead of digital
