Cause: The cause of all of this 3was me playing with some settings trying to get a projector to run off of a second output, and when I changed a setting the monitor still worked fine while plugged in but when I unplugged it to test the other monitor (and got nothing) I replugged in this monitor. The computer then tried to send to this monitor that is wasn't an "hd" screen. and since i rebooted to try to fix the fact that i was getting no signal... It kept this setting.
Solution: 1) apparently all of the newer LG monitors have a problem with their "power saver function." And from what I was reading last night... LG doesn't give a flying **** about the people out there (and a google search on this proves there are people with this problem) with this particular problem. Any and all attempts to contact them result in a "our monitor is working fine, adjust the settings on your PC," and while this is true... You would think they would try to help people by removing the annoying feature from monitors. They havent, wont, and have made no plans on doing so.
So is all lost? I was talking to Jakal (I still talk to him even though hes never on these forums these days) and he suggested that I do a repair installation on windows... (thinking back on it, a restore might have been a better idea... but I'm not sure if it would have targeted what I needed changed to be changed.)
So after the repair install, everything was fine and dandy with viewing on the LG monitor!
And I could even plug and play the second monitor (the projector); Until I enabled SLi. Now the damn thing wont put out a signal to it at all, and when I got to change the settings to "enable" it as a monitor it wont stay enables past hitting the apply (and no signal really ever went to it to begin with.) This has to do with the fact that while in "sli" mode it doesn't like to give out a signal to anything registered as a "tv" I'm guessing... which leaves me with really one option, if it exists... to install a driver for a projector?
Sorry for for the long post. Bottom line... STAY AWAY FROM LG if you're doing anything fancy with a monitor setup I suppose... And can anyone give me helps with my projector set up now?
EDIT UPDATE:
Taking my cards out of SLi produces a "Digital power saving mode" CLUSTER**** again, but only until I restarted it. Once restarted, It worked just fine, and once again it recognized the projector...
LG is still a piece of shit... nvidia drivers for SLi seems to be flawed when i comes ot multiple monitors.
