Amazon Basics DisplayPort to DVI Cable with Gold-plated connectors (1.8 m/6 Feet)

Product Information

Your monitor likely has a few different DVI configurations that you will need to adjust, including the DVI-I and the DVI-D, the color depth, refresh rate, and resolution. If you have been successfully using your DVI to Displayport setup and it just stopped working, then you probably have an issue with your adaptor. Diagnosing and fixing what’s wrong with the adaptor isn’t complicated because other people have had similar issues before you. We’ve gathered the most common problems with the adaptor and found the solutions.

If you cannot connect the DVI to the Displayport monitor, it could be that something is wrong with your computer’s graphics card. Try to reset or replace your graphics card, paying close attention to compatibility. If your monitor worked previously, it is likely something to do with the hardware or software. You’ve either blown something or there needs to be an update to make it work again. The best thing to do when your DVI to Displayport isn’t working is to troubleshoot all of the different areas until something works for you. These solutions will largely work when you are first setting up your Displayport or when you have had it for some time. Another solution is to update your video driver, as this will solve many problems with monitor connections. There are pretty many graphics driver updates and if you don’t keep up, it is conceivable that it could create connection issues. You need to either manually update your computer or set it up for automatic updates. Sometimes, your adaptor just won’t respond and you need to get it replaced. In this case, it may be a better idea to just get a new monitor.

Even better, if your computer has a secondary video card, try to connect the monitor to that card and then remove the initial video card.
