[QUOTE="pickel182, post: 1159898, member: 169803"] Hey All, I have a mac pro 3,1 I use for design. I have dual 27' apple monitors plugged in via dvi but i have been having some issues. For some reason recently the second monitor stopped displaying and shows only a black screen. If I switch the DVI plugs around the other one starts working and the one that was previously working fine displays a blank screen. This leads me to believe it has something to do with the power supply or more likely the graphics card. I'm using an ATI Radeon HD2600 with 256 MB of VRAM. I have scoured the interwebs for a solution to this problem but have not been able to find a solution. Does anyone have any ideas on this? Should I try buying a new graphics card? Is the power supply insufficient? Any help is GREATLY appreciated. Thanks! [/QUOTE]
