    Posted: 05 Dec 2008 at 8:21pm
I'm having trouble upon start up getting my monitor to display.  I have to unplug the DVI connector on the back of the video card and plug back in a couple of times before the monitor will display my desktop. I'm using the DVI to HDMI adaptor that came with the graphics card
 
I have a HPw2408h monitor and GTX 280 graphics card.  Also when I hook the monitor up to my laptop the monitor works fine. 
 
Is there anything I need to do to the video card to get the monitor to work properly? 
 
Please Help!

I have a HDMI cabel going into a DVI adaptor that connects to the DVI port on the GTX 280 video card.  The other end of the HDMI cabel plugs directly into the monitor.
