Just this morning I noticed that when I booted my pc up the monitor never turned on, I could here windows making the intro noise but no display. I test 2 other monitors and they experience the same thing that I can see the bios the boot screen the windows xp logo but when it has to load the OS it goes blank and says "Cable dissconnected" " No connections" as if the its not getting a signal from the video card. What makes it more interesting that when I boot into safe mode it boots up there, ran my anti virus and then did a system restore and still nothing. My main monitor is dual VGA and DVI and DVI it won't even bother recognizing that. Is it safe to say its the Video card needs a replacement. Any advise I'd appreciate.

Thank you,

who makes the GPU? Nvidia's 400 series has a known bug that causes the computer to always boot the on-board video first, whether its turned on or not.

1st cold boot will always be the onboard
2nd cold boot will initialize the Nvidia GFX card.
