I have discussed this topic with Fred in chat already, proposing me to update the BIOS driver, which however was not successfull:
My problem is:
I have built an new PC including Intel I5 3570K processor on motherboard Asus P8Z77-M PRO. I have a monitor Iiyama Prolite E485S 19'' native resolution 1280x1024, 60 Hz connected to it. Before that monitor was connected to a PC running Win XP 32 bit on DVI-D interface no problem.
Ever since the first boot on the Win 8 PC, the DVI-D loses the signal on the DVI-D Interface right after BIOS bootscreen upon boot of the Windows OS. Before, i.e. BIOS setup, is working on DVI just fine.
The following has been tried, so far:
1. Reinstalling Intel 4000 HD driver, switching to another version Intel 4000 HD driver proposed by ASUS: After removing the Intel driver, the DVI interface works on native resolution. Upon reboot, the signal is lost again.
2. Testing Linux on the PC, installed on dual boot: DVI interface works fine!!
3. Updating the ASUS BIOS to the newest version - no effect.
4. Reinstalling the Intel chipset driver - no effect.
5. Removing the monitor from the device manager - no effect.
6. Uninstalling the Intel graphics driver 4000 HD using the Programs and features section in order to completely remove leftovers - same result as 1 above.
This issue seems similar to that relating to Windows 7:
Intel HD 4000 No Display after loading Windows 7
I have read
Force DVI/HDMI resolutions and refresh rates - Windows 7 Forums
Which suggests to override an EDID such that the information received by the system from a monitor are disregarded and override preferences are used instead. Could this solve the problem? Would this require also a DVI-D cable with removed DDC Pin 7 and/ or DDC hotplug detect pin 16?
I have registered my E-mail and got a case number from Fred. Unfortunately I did neither receive the chat transcript, nor an E-mail regarding that case, Could I get that information forwarde via PM?
Thanks, Joerg
