What happens if you connect your monitor to the onboard video outlet
instead of the video card?

I just checked this out. My monitor has a DVI-I male plug that
connects with the video card. The on-board video output has a
conventional VGA female socket. I will need an adapter before I can
try this out.

I'm down with a cold and don't want to spread it around by going to a
store, so I'll just let this problem wait another day or two.

Most monitors with a DVI connector ALSO have a VGA connector, usually
nearby on the monitor. You would need a VGA cable in order to connect
to it. My monitor came with both types of cable.

Take a look when you feel better....meanwhile, chicken soup!
