So,
About a week ago, I stubbed my toe against the wall. Naturally, it swelled up immediately, and I spent about two days limping around...
It’s been a week now. The pain has subsided somewhat, but the swelling hasn't fully gone down. It just seems stuck. How long does it actually take for this to subside? And why has there been zero progress over the last four days? It's just the same every single day. Any suggestions on what to rub on it or what to do...

🙏🙏🙏

Joshua Garcia3 said:That's a new graphics card, so it's pretty obvious the issue lies with the drivers. Maybe try grabbing the latest ATI driver directly from their website and doing a clean install. I’m assuming you've got the card and the monitor hooked up via a DVI cable.

Yeah, it's hooked up via DVI, but even when I swap over to VGA, the exact same thing happens...
I've already done a clean reinstall of the drivers twice now. Still nothing...
🤷🤷🤷

I ran into the exact same issue.
A moment ago, I got hit with an error message mentioning something about the ati2dvag file. It claims the fault lies either with the GPU or the drivers.
The whole situation is incredibly frustrating... especially since this PC is brand new. I already tried a clean reinstall of the graphics drivers, but nothing changed. Still the same result.
Does anyone happen to know anything about this specific error? I’d really appreciate any insight...

I’m running into something similar... except my signal drops out specifically during the boot process. Everything looks fine when I first hit the power button, but right as the Windows welcome screen is supposed to pop up, my monitor starts cycling through its inputs, looking for a digital or analog connection that just isn't there.
It’s not a constant thing, though. It happens maybe once every third or fourth time I boot up or restart the machine.
The monitor is a Samsung t200 (first impressions were actually quite good!).
Here is the rest of my build:
e8400
Gigabyte ep45-ds3
hd 4870 sapphire
corsair 550w
2x2 gb kingmax 800mhz
And everything is running on XP professional.
I have a hunch this might not even be a hardware issue...
Any idea what could be causing this, or how to fix it?
🙏🙏🙏🙏
Thanks in advance
