I have a Galaxy GF9500GF PCI-e video card, 1GB. It has two DVI ports and I connect it to a VGA cable using a special connector. When Windows XP SP3 is loading (I can see the progress bar), the monitor goes black. Why is this happening? How can I resolve it?

Most likely it's just the driver loading into the kernel and the adapter "resetting". You should make sure you're running the latest drivers, but I have seen that flicker on almost every machine I've dealt with, it's just an aspect of booting, the screen flickers, no big deal.

Have you tried the other DVI port? You might be connected to the secondary output. – CharlieRB – 2012-01-02T21:21:23.353
Does the screen stay black? – cmorse – 2012-01-03T15:38:13.433
