Windows 10: DVI-D display only detected by windows occassionally

I am running a dualboot machine with Arch Linux and Windows 10, and after getting a new monitor for my machine I realised there was a bit of a problem. Neither my BIOS nor Windows 10 install would recognize the display, but linux has no issue with it.

Eventually after having to reboot to save changes on my linux install, the BIOS screen had displayed, and so I tried to see if Windows would do the same, which it did. So I used windows normally for a while until it was time to shut it off for the day.

Next day came around and I can't replicate the results, nor get either to accept the display.

I am using Asrock B460M-HDV with 10th gen Intel i3, generic ram totalling 16GB, and a crucial 500gb NVMe. I would like some help as my previous display is awful to say the least

DVI (digital) does display boot-up screens, but doesn't display in windows.

One day I started my pc and everything worked fine. After approximately 1 hour the DVI-D signal to my Benq monitor stopped. I turned on my TV that's connect with a HDMI and I saw everything except the DVI signal was working fine.

I restarted my pc and if I remember correctly the DVI-D signal came back normally and I ignored the problem.

The day later I started the pc and the Benq monitor did display boot-up screens but lost signal in windows. Again the TV with HDMI worked fine.

System specifications:
- Main GPU: Gainward Phantom Geforce GTX 970
- Backup GPU: MSI Radeon HD 7750
(never used at the same time)

- CPU: Intel Xeon E3-1230 v3

- motherboard: Gigabyte G1.sniper B5

- RAM: ballistix (4 times 4GB) DDR3 BX Sport

- SSD: Crucial 6Gb/s M500 120GB

- HDD: 1TB SATA Western Digital

Things I tried with Nvidia main card:

• Uninstall Nvidia Graphic driver with DDU (in safe mode)
  
  Result: DVI-D signal at boot up screens but not in windows
• Empty all disks and reinstall windows 10
  
  Result: DVI-D signal in 480p with basic Microsoft display driver in windows
• After new windows install, automatic install of the NVidia driver version 353.54
  
  Result: DVI-D signal in 1080p in windows
• Upgraded driver from 353.54 to NVidia version 359.06 then to 373.70
  
  Result: Both versions worked 1080p in windows. The last upgrade (version 373.70) displayed for a short time (less then a minute) in windows then suddenly the DVI digital signal stopped working. The TV with HDMI still worked in 1080p.
• Repeating the installation of the drivers above didn't get the DVI signal to work in windows again.
• Upgrade the driver 353.54 to 372.90 not with device manager and removed the HDMI cable from the Graphics card while installing the NVidia driver
  
  Result: DVI signal in 1080p in windows. after installation I reconnected the HDMI and both screens worked in 1080p. After a restart with both cables connected the DVI did not display in windows.
• Restart with only the DVI connected
  
  Result: DVI signal in 1080p in windows, after startup I connected the HDMI and both screens worked in 1080p

Things I tried with AMD backup card

• Reinstalled windows and getting latested AMD drivers
  
  result: DVI digital signal in 1080p
• Next day startup
  
  result: DVI does display boot-up screens, but doesn't display in windows.

Most important is that I didn't get any better then having the DVI signal in windows for a short time or until the next restart.

Note: Every time I uninstalled or reinstalled a driver I followed all steps the installer was giving me. For example I restarted the pc when I may did not describe this in the "thing I tried" section.

I think the problem is in windows because sometimes the DVI randomly works again.

I hope you can help me because I feel I tried everything.

Kind regards,

 

Continuum with VGA/DVI-D only monitor

Hello there,

I am planning to try out Continuum with a Lumia 950XL. The monitor I should connect it to has only VGA and DVI-D input connectors, and it supports a 1920 x 1200 resolution on a 24" panel with 16:10 aspect ratio.

• Would it be possible to get a stable, reliable and functional connection between the Lumia and such monitor?
• The resolution and aspect ratio of the external monitor would be correctly interpreted by the Lumia or would I face problems in image size, resolution or aspect ratio of the contect that I see on screen?

My idea is to buy the Display Dock, connect the phone on one end and an HDMI to DVI-D cable on the other end.

How does it sound?

Thank you very much.
