- As soon as operating-system is loaded the picture disappears and display may be suspended.

- The display reports to be analog, but the computer output is digital (HDMI or DVI).
- The display driver refuses to work with an analog display on a digital output.
Solution
Perform one of the following:
- Disable DDC / EDID in BIOS (if supported).
