I have a radeon 4890 video card. It works fine with one monitor, but I want to use a projector as the second monitor and always have it running. If I boot with just my monitor connected, and THEN i plug in the projector, I can set it as the second monitor and everything is fine...but the computer will not boot up with both connected. I MUST unplug the projector from the card to boot, then I can plug it in and use it. I want to always leave it plugged in and have no clue what is wrong here...help!
I have both the monitor and the projector set to 1024 x 768. When I say the computer won't boot, I don't get the startup Dell bios screen or anything - both monitors are just black with no image whatsoever and the computer just sits like that (power light on, but no activity). I am using DVI-VGA converters for both monitors. I believe I even tried booting with just the DVI-VGA converter plugged into the second video port and the computer STILL wouldn't boot. It seems if I have anything connected to both ports, I can't boot up.
