Solve : Video card failure??

Answer»

Hi, new to forum and in need of advice please. I connected my PC to my TV via as s-video cable, and my PC desktop appeared (and still does appear) on my TV. However, after restarting my PC I lost any display on my monitor (including pre-Windows boot screens). The video card, which is only 4 months old, is an ATI RADEON 9600 XT. In the ATI Catalyst Control Center software, the TV and monitor are configured as 'Main'/'Clone' respectively. Any attempt to disable/remove the TV as a display does not restore graphics on the monitor. Before I return the card for replacement, I would like to know whether this appears to be a failed video card, or would the fact that I can view the PC desktop on my TV suggest that the card is fine and the problem lies elsewhere (misconfiguration, etc)? Thanks for any reply on this subject.

[recovering disk space -- attachment deleted by admin]shouldn't your monitor be the default display rather then the TV?I would have thought so, but the only WAY to get video playback on TV was to set it up this way. Anyway, I have a tech support GUY coming tomorrow, and he says the video card hasn't failed, so I'll see what settings he uses.
