The difference between the two is that DVI-I can display both digital and analog. DVI-D can only display digital. A DVI-D male connector will work with a DVI-I female. However, a DVI-D female connector won't work with a DVI-I male. So this likely isn't your problem since I am assuming the cable is DVI-D male to male; the standard. There should be no reason for it to keep going back to DSUB.

As to Single and Dual Link this just refers to bandwidth the cable can transmit. Dual offers better quality but again shouldn't affect your monitor working.

Have you tried using the monitor with another computer? That would be the first step to take.
