Widescreen Flat Panel

Widescreen Flat Panel


i just purchased a Dell E520 desktop with a Dell UltraSharp 2007WFP 20-inch Widescreen Flat Panel Lcd Monitor?

I am having problems connecting the e-GeForce 7300 GS Graphics card with the DVI port for a good screen clarity. I keep getting fatal errors. What can I do?

Hiya Victor,

First of all, the monitor could not be responsible for the desktop computer giving you fatal errors. Unless you installed some software that is corrupted or incompatible, this should not be happening. I work with Dell and you are describing one of their customized deals. If you just purchased it I would call and get it fixed under warranty even if I knew how to fix the problem. Under no circumstances should a new Dell desktop have any fatal errors.

But if you plan on being stubborn then check these things:

1. Remove and replace the graphics adapter making sure it is secure.
2. Inspect the DVI cable pins and ports for damage.
3. Inspect the adapter pins and ports for damage.
4.**Call Dell and tell them you didn't order Vista and why do you have it.
5. Try downloading & installing different drivers.
6. Try connecting your old monitor or borrow one to test with.

I would stop there, you don't want to void whatever warranty you do have. Again, I recommend strongly that you only try minimum impact troubleshooting; CALL DELL!

GOOD LUCK!!

PS. Number 4 is a Joke, i just feel Vista is half-baked and needs more work.
