I am a little frusterated here. I woke up to my monitors running diffrent resolutions after being left on overnight and after rebooting and trying to change the resolution have now completely lost video after boot when I run on my pci-e slot. I have a PNY 8600 gt (the factory overclocked version) it will start up on one display and as soon as the login comes up the monitor goes out. I am running vista home premium 32bit. I went out and replaced this video card after trying everything I know all day long. i have uninstalled and reinstalled the nvidia drivers (even removed the registry files) I had tried rolling back the driver before I did all of this and I even tried a previous restore point. I am currently running a crapy 256 pci card and it works fine for a single monitor and the onboard works... I have pci-e set as default in bios as well. My system is an HP 16152n, Core2 quad @ 2.40 ghz / 2.39ghz. I have a 650w PSU. Let me know if you need anymore info... My only other thoughts are that the motherboard i squirky or I have some weird virus, I am running avg 8.0. Thank you...

I now have the 8600 gt / pci-e /dvi reconizing one monitor. The second shows up in the configuration for nvidia and in vistas display properties but no tin device manager... After trying to figure this out all night I think it may have to do with the DVI. Again there had been no hardware or software changes before this all occured...

I would first want to find out if the card is defective, either by trying it in another system, or by trying a card that is known to be working fine, in your present system. If it works either way, then the card is probably bad. If you don't have these options, maybe you can RMA the card and they will send you a new one, which you can then try out.
