Video card problem? No red showing

http://forums.pcapex.com/showthread....&threadid=3956 I posted this over in other hardware because I thought it was my monitor, but now I think its my video cad. Any help in this thread or the other would be great.

first check your monitors settings.... then check to see if any of the pins on your db15(monitor) connector are bent.

I had a similar problem one time (this one time, at band camp...) and traced it back to the connection between the monitor and video card. Wiggle the cable where it connects to the video card and see if you get a response.

Well, I've tested the monitor with another computer, it worked fine. I've checked the pins and the cable; they're fine. I just bought a new cheap SiS based AGP video card, same problem, no red. Now I think its my AGP bus. Any thing else it could be? Now I need a PCI card to test it.
