Ok here is my situation:
I have an HTPC with NO graphic card. I use onboard's HDMI output. The HTPC is linked through HDMI to my Onkyo home theater receiver and then from the receiver it output to my HDTV
My problem is that i absolutly need to power on my htpc AFTER i open my receiver and my TV, or else it seems that the motherboard isn't outputting video. If my receiver and HDTV is turned off, it doesnt detect any monitor or tv so it boots without outputting video and the TV will be blue.
It is really just a video problem, since i can still access my computer remotly with VNC server after it boots.
If i open my receiver and my TV and then after that i turn on my HTPC, then everything will work fine.
I checked everywhere in the BIOS, all i found is an option called "Init Display First"
Description is "If more than one display device are installed on the system, this item selects the primary display"
Options are PCI Slot, Onboard, PEG or PEG1. I set it to Onboard since i don't have any graphic card
note: i don't want to buy any video card even if it could solve my problem, i bought the new AMD A6 APU with onboard video to avoid having to buy a graphic card... it's an HTPC i want minimum heat
My motherboard is A75M-D2H and i'm on Windows XP
