I have two identical Compaq FS7600 monitors set up as duel monitors, (this is not a compaq PC btw). Each set to 72Hz refresh rate. Every time I restart the computer, one of the monitors reverts back to the default 60Hz.
I've tried a different monitor and this issue seemed to go away. But what I don't understand is that I was using these same monitors on my old system with a 7600 card, and now I've just built a new computer with the 8600GT. what could cause a monitor to throw your video settings back to the default? I can always change the refresh rate back, but I have to do this every time I restart. (it is only one monitor that resets, and reversing the monitors makes no difference. in other words what ever monitor is on DVI jack A#2 that will be reset).
The other option I have is to keep keep #2 monitor off, and then restart the computer turning the monitor on only after the system boots up, then it's ok.
I’ve reinstalled the graphics drivers, and I am using the latest from nVidea. why is this setting not sticking? :confused: I don't think it's the drivers, as much as it has something to do with the monitors.
