I have this weird problem and maybe some of you have encountered something similar.
I restarted my PC today, and upon booting up, I'm greeted by an error message about the power plug for the video card not being connected and loud beeps from the motherboard. So I check all the connections and power up again, but still the same error. Wanting to avoid the hassle of switching out cards, I first try plugging the monitor into the secondary DVI port, and guess what... the system boots up fine.
I'm using the analog connection for my monitor with a DVI to analog converter (card only has DVI ports) so I think to myself "Maybe the adapter went bad for some reason". So I try another adapter but the same thing happens; one port works while the other doesn't.
So now I try using a straight DVI connection. Reason I don't use it is because for some reason the GRUB menu doesn't displey with a digital connection. Anyway, using a DVI cable I can get both ports to work perfectly . So now I'm confused. The DVI ports on the video card obviously work, so why would trying to use an analog connection stop the whole PC from booting up?
To recap, DVI connection work, while analog connections only work on one port. Could it be the video card itself? Maybe the motherboard is receiving faulty signals? I already tried a different monitor and the same thing happens.
