Hello. First I'm going to list as much about my setup as I can. Then I'll tell you my problem.


Acer 23" Primary MONITOR
Sansui 19" Secondary monitor (Yes, it isn't a well know BRAND but for $100 it works as a secondary)
AMD Radeon 6850 GPU

I'm running the primary with DV-I to DV-I
I'm running the secondary with VGA to DV-I
Catalyst Control Center to control both monitors.


Now, on to my problem.

When ever I boot with both monitors plugged in, The BIOS and safe mod selection screens appear on both screens. Now, this just started happening. Then when it gets to my desktop, it GOES back to its extended view like I had it set to. Then after about 30 seconds on the desktop, both monitors with freak out. The will start to glitch up, then both will turn pink, or green, then they will black screen.

I'm posting this with only my primary plugged it because, well it works fine with just it plugged in.

I don't know if the monitor is bad, the Video card is going, or if there is just a screwed up setting.

Any help would be amazing.
UPDATE:

Both monitors work in safe mode, and bot monitors work by themselves.

So, I guess it must be a setting or a problem with the video card.

Anyone?UPDATE 2:

I've seemed to fixed the issue. I plugged the secondary in using HDMI instead of the VGA/DVI and it is working fine now. ( knock on wood)

So I guess the problem was a bad VGA cable.And it continues to mess up.

I've tried ever connection and every port on my monitor and computer.

So, I guess its the video card.

Has anyone every had this problem, and can confirm that it is my video card SCREWING up.

I will note that it seems to only mess up when I try to play a game. TF2, Simes, Counter Strike, even WoW.Well, today it hasn't done it as much, but instead of the pink and green screens, I get scanlines all over.

Still having the same problem. Works fine in safe mode, but as soon as I try to play a game or video, boom. It messes up.
