Default Any Ideas?

Hello all,

Hope someone can help. I just installed a 9800gtx+ with a 550w PS with
28amps on the 12v connectors (both power connectors are used)

The primary monitor (dual monitor setup) will go blank but the
secondary still shows the desktop.

I tried turning off any power saving/screen saver options but still no
change. restart is required to bring screen back.

any ideas?

TIA
Dave

Find out if it's the card or the monitor. Switch the displays
(physically). See what happens.

Swap the ports on video card to determinate card or monitor problem. If you
can reproduce this on the other monitor, than RMA the card.
