OK here is my issue.
Last night I decided to update the Driver for my Nvidia ION video card.
So went to Nvidia site downloaded driver for the ION (64bit) then istalled it,
and BAM all of a sudden I can no longer get my HTPC to show up on my Samsung Plasma (PN59D7000)
I will break down my setup (also I did not change anything prior to driver update)
HTPC zotac zbox hd-id11
Running HDMI out to
onkyo tx-sr705
Then Onkyo runs HDMI to the Samsung
As stated before I did not change anything physically in the setup.
I will also mention that I can get it to show if I plug directly from HTPC to the Samsung.
I also tried a small PC monitor (non HDMI) and can see the HTPC, it will also detect the Onkyo.
So when it runs from HTPC to the Onkyo to the Samsung I get no picture.
Please help, I spent well over 5 hours last night trying to figure this out!! It is driving my nuts because I can not understand what could have happened.
Thanks
I thought I would add a bit more info
When I turn my computer on, I see the BIOS boot screen on my plasma TV with no problems.
Everything looks great. Then I see the initial Microsoft screen with the panning progress bar showing that Windows is booting. At this point things crap out. The TV goes blank with no signal right when the PC gets to the windows login screen.
I can't see anything. I can't figure out what is going wrong.
The only thing that works is if I boot to 'safe mode' Then I can see the windows login and desktop at the 800x600 screen resolution it defaults too.
You can't make any changes to resolution in safe mode however.
