It probably is the false monitor detection problem again, happened on some OEM cards. The driver placed hardware overlay to the CRTC for another port which doesn't actually have a monitor connected, but driver thinks there is. Try to connect the monitor to the DVI-I port with a DVI-I to VGA adapter, see if this makes any difference.
