DELL 2007wfp no "POST" under DVI

I have a problem with my DELL 2007wfp now. I was using nvidia fx5200 128mb video card with my 2007WFP on DVI. There was no problem at all until that video card suddenly failed last month. I guess it also damaged my motherboard and then my motherboard won't boot. I sent the motherboard back to GIGABYTE and they fixed it. Now I put my old ATI Radeon VE on the repaired motherboard and I see no "POST" on DVI mode. The analog mode is working fine. However, when I boot up the computer under DVI connection, I could not see the POST information and I have to wait until WINDOWS xp loads up. Then everything seems ok under WINDOWS XP. Is the monitor damaged as well? Could somebody help me on that? Thanks.

    POST screens are in 720 x 400 VGA text mode. I'd say the ATI card is not able to display that mode over DVI.

    Fixed. Somebody also suggested me to update the Video BIOS. I did and it works. I got the radeon 7000 BIOS (for my VE) from http://www.station-drivers.com/page/atidriv%20bios.htm. Then I followed the readme file to create the flash disk. Then, with command "flashrom -p 0 ybfic924.504", it fixed the problem. Thanks a lot.

    BIOS settings, latest BIOS drivers, all drivers should always be updated first and periodically. :)
