thanks mate where do i find the motherboard info? the monitor came with a DVI cord so im not sure if that could be my problem because there is no DVI slot on the back of my comp...not sure i really need that though, ive simply plugged the monitor in where the old one went and theres been no change, when i turn the comp on tho it comes up in the left of the monitor as saying analog...all the drivers seem up to date though, they all say 2010 and we installed the drivers that came with the monitor.
