Last night I saw we were getting some thunderstorms. I unplugged everything (power, phone, ect.)
I have 2 monitors and an HDTV (via HDMI) connected to my card (660ti). This afternoon when everything cleared, I plugged in everthing again.
Now my PC only detects 1 monitor and nothing else?
Advice?

Can it at least detect monitors on all the ports, even if you have to try them 1 by 1?

Also, can you give us the exact brand & model number of the card that you're using?

Lastly, how are you connecting the 3 monitors? I suppose 1 is with VGA, another with DVI and the TV with HDMI.

Check the cables and screens individually. Then check the ports on the card. Then through elimination you can determine the issue.

The card is a Gigabyte 660 ti. 2 monitors (lg & Samsung) connected via Dvi and the TV connected via HDMI. Only the Lg comes on and the Samsung displays "check signal cable". When I swap the cables the Samsung comes on but not the Lg.
The TV is also not recognized.

With that graphics card you won't be able to run 3 screens simultaneously, unless you're using DisplayPort for the 3rd screen.

So you're saying that just the one DVI port is working?
I would suggest that you RMA that card if that is the case.

Does the TI not come with 2 HDMI ports like the oc version?
