    PS3 to PC Monitor

    Hi !!

    I have a ps3 hooked up to my pc monitor by a HDMI / DVI cable. It was always working good with a nice image quality, but for an unknown reason it recently stopped working.

    I formated my hard drive a couple of days ago with a fresh install of windows7 x64bits. I don't know if this could have affected any Monitor driver or anything (I don't think so since I can play my ps3 regardless wether the pc is on or off.)

    All in all, I tried pretty much everything: resetting the ps3 video by holding the power button etc...no luck. I tried to plug it on someone else's PC monitor and it worked right away!

    The monitor I am using is a LG L204WT-SF it has a resolution of 1680x1050. Whenever I try to play the ps3 on it, I'm able to hear the clicking sound when navigating in the menu but the screen remaind black.

    Hope you guys can help me out as I am desperate lol (I almost never post my issues and fix them by myself, but this time I am defeated lol). Thank you

    Haha true! Sorry I realized it after posting >.>

    Just in case someone encounter a similar problem : I just had to turn on my monitor, keep it on, unplug it then plug it back in. It king of "resetted" the monitor and the 2nd channel (DVI) worked like a charm once again .
