Glad to hear FSL's super puter OK, but while we're on the subject of boards/cards, OFSO mentions cleaning things. Here's my problem- Nvidia gforce video card with twin outputs - one of the display resolutions is now noticeably degraded/different. Simply take it all apart, re-assemble?

Well, it couldn't hurt. Also worth updating the driver, which Nvidia frequently revise, mostly to cope with games, but on occasion to fix things.

For avoidance of doubt, I advised a look at the USB ports, since the symptoms matched a fault I experienced. What I didn't do is state that was the definitive answer to the problem. Let's keep things in perspective.

Mustpost.

I wish that it was that simple.

Multi monitor output gave me no insolubly problems in NT4, Win 2000 or XP.

Whole 'nother story in Win7.

I have a minor problem with a main board (and on-board graphics) and a video card to run another monitor. Won't boot.

I gave up on it pre-christmas and need to revisit it shortly. I'll comment as and when.

But. I do think that this is worthy of a new thread.
