This converter transmits the boot graphics but goes black afterwards (does not show desk top, just black screen). Is there a way to fix this?

I think this is video format related problem. During the starting boot, the lower format video was supported by the converter, but after the boot, when window takes over, the video format may no longer be supported.You need to make sure that the PC is in extended or duplicate mode, and the output is 60Hz. And the TV must support 720P / 1080P. If your TV is not 1080P, you may need to toggle the 720P/1080P switch to put it in 720P to get picture.

I would check that all connections are not loose. It sounds like you have the power usb cable plugged in but check it's connection as well. I'd suggest contacting the company if you have further problems.My monitor has worked flawless since installing the adapter. Sorry to hear you are having issues.

It never worked for me, so idk. I'd imagine that the computer would still see a DP, and the monitor an HDMI. All the converter is doing is moving pins around.

I tried it when my sister's laptop went blank. The driver was already installed before the gpu died. I plugged it in and it didn't work. I can't be sure, but I think the adapter relies on processing power from the mobo gpu. I recently tried this out on my desktop which installed the driver on its own, but all of my screens started flickering. My desktop is an old salvaged computer with a cheap gpu. I would say replace the mobo, that's what I did. You might spend more, but at least you are not playing a guessing game, and this product is likely to ruin your mobo if you use it long enough.

I got this StarTech.com DisplayPort to VGA Video Adapter Converter - 1920x1200 - Display Port / DP Adapter M/Fand it works perfectly :)

This is not a converter, thus is merely a cable to allow two computers to share one monitor, keyboard and mouse. If you need to connect this cable to an VGA output, you need to buy an adaptor. I had to do that since I have two computers, one has HDMI output, one has VGA output. Hope this helps.

This device does not require a software driver to work, so it will work with any device that supplies it with a VGA signal no matter what operating system is used. The only thing to be mindful of is that VGA source signal is within the range of the supported resolutions of this converter.

I am dealing with Tech Support. They have given some suggestions, and will let me return it for exchange if they don't work. Sorry I'm not far enough down the road to know what is the right solution.

I assume it worked at some point (adapter) as you said: tested it twice. Mine worked fine when I made the adaptation. There is a lot of connection pens to mate up. Make sure one of them did not get bent and all connections are tight. Sounds as though it could be your home computer as well. Change out different connecting cables again, if it does not work then I am betting it is your computer.

I have no clue what an "active converter" is. All I can tell you is that I connected the old keyboard

You have to make sure that you plug the included USB cord from the back of the monitor (right next to the DVI input) into your computer (or a connected hub), just as you would any other USB hub. They certainly should have included this in the instructions!

I don't know the answer because I don't even understand the question. My converter worked perfectly. sorry!

I bought this a few months back and used it with both IDE and SATA and it worked for me. I would say you may have gotten a bad one and just send it back. I'm running Win7 and only tried it only desktop. If I had more money to spend I would get one with out a power cord.

There could be many reasons, but the wrong cable/adapter could sure be one. Are you sure you have a dual link cable or adapter? If you're using the little adapter, then yes, this will fix your problem. It's pricey and eats up a USB port, but it's the only want to run a large monitor.

We had to send it back because it was USB driven and it could not be the primary boot monitor. Don't remember other details....sorry!

I have this adapter running on a Win 7 PC and so far no reboots. You can try checking in your BIOS settings at boot up to see if you system is set for "wake via USB" this may be causing a reboot

Yes. I have my converter connected from a laptop to a tv through the component input.Hope it works fine for you.
