(Chris Malachowsky is huffily shouting “What if it’s an ATi, or maybe it has nothing to do with us GPU-ers, maybe it’s these overclockers’ fault, XFX, Club, Sparkle… Or maybe it has nothing to do with the overclockers, what about board assemblers like ourselves (!), Gigabyte, and Asus?”)ĭon’t be so sure, and more importantly don’t blame Microsoft, and you Chris, enough maybes, maybe none of you are to blame, but those at VESA for this tricky invention called EDID, and of course those monitor manufacturers for making EDID EEPROM so naïve. – Goddamn it, I’m quite sure it has something to do with Microsoft, and Nvidia as an accessory. Mine broke down while I was on an expensive 700W RMS SLI-certified power supply. – Oh wait, here in this Nvidia forum it says a weak power supply was the cause of the trouble, some geeks say if you just replace your PSU with something big-watt it’ll fix at no effort. Some people reported both a corrupt resolution section and a corrupt checksum.
At least an invalid checksum is enough to cause this trouble. Not so sure, it might be partially erased, or it might be just a corrupt checksum. It was there all the time, calling a modern-day DVI digital Plug and Play (PnP) monitor a “Generic Non-PnP Monitor.” The EDID includes manufacturer name, product type, phosphor or filter type, timings supported by the display, display size, luminance data and (for digital displays only) pixel mapping data. EDID is defined by a standard published by the Video Electronics Standards Association (VESA). It is what enables a modern personal computer to know what kind of monitor is connected. Your monitor’s extended display identification data.Įxtended display identification data (EDID) is a data structure provided by a computer display to describe its capabilities to a graphics card. Well, Jesus might’ve opened the eyes of a man born blind, but a sure bet he won’t cure a monitor turned blind, especially in the world where John Michael “Ozzy” Osbourne says “what’s a DVD?” Have you ever asked yourselves what should happen during those X seconds? 5-or-so for Samsung and Sharp, 10 for Dell and Fujitsu, 30 for ViewSonic… Probably those numbers are vendor-specific Jesus’ response time to come along for help. Have you tried calling your monitor’s (and maybe your graphics card’s) vendor’s technical support and they just told you to unplug your monitor both from VGA and wall socket, take a breath for X seconds, and then reconnect them all, at their best, with no luck? Hey pizza-boy-turned-support-technician, don’t fool us. Have you tried your graphics card’s other DVI port after screen turned blank, and you suddenly felt like you’ve succeeded for a while, but it was stuck at some 1024×768-or-so 4:3 low-resolution on a 16:10 / 16:9 widescreen, ended up in the 1990s?
#GENERIC OPTIQUEST MONITOR DRIVER WINDOWS#
Have you tried graphics card’s latest driver, but this time screen turns black (blank) getting no signal in Windows while updating driver? Is your monitor listed as Generic Non-PnP Monitor in Windows Device Manager in XP, Vista, 2003, and 2008? Will you be surprised if I tell you it means “dear user, it’s not detected at all!?” Was it okay until yesterday when you just installed Windows Vista or Windows Server 2008? Trying back Windows XP or Windows Server 2003 solves the problem?
#GENERIC OPTIQUEST MONITOR DRIVER HOW TO#
This article is a guide on how to fix the problem with DVI monitors showing no signal when Windows Vista starts.ĭoes your monitor turn black (blank) and display no signal when Windows Vista (also Windows Server 2008) finishes the green progress bar in the boot process, right the second it turns the Num Lock on?
