Display isn't seen at all unless it is turned on before computer is

Hi all, I am having an odd issue with my media room computer. I recently swapped video cards since the Nvidia Geforce 210 i had in there was randomly losing connection to the scren and blanking out for a sec. So i had a spare AMD Radeon 6450 that i put in and setup with the latest drivers. I'm noticing that with this new card, if i turn on the computer and then the TV, the TV isn't seen or recognized at all. So i have to turn the computer off, turn the TV on first, then the computer recognizes it a it should. With the Nvidia I never had to worry about this, but with this AMD, doesn't make much sense to me. The TV is going in via HDMI and the OS is Windows 10 x64. Thanks!

Are you sure?

Might the same issue. Try different cables.

Thanks for the advice, never really thought it could be the cable, but i tried another one i pulled from my Xbox and it started working again. So I think i might put the Nvidia back in and see if the new cable fixes the blanking out. Thanks for your help!
