Need help with a new build!!!!!

[humphryboggie]

I built my friend a new computer a couple of days ago, and I am still trying to work all of the bugs out of it. I am using Foxconn G31MV-K LGA 775 motherboard with onboard graphics, and I am using a 30" LCD tv as the monitor. The problem occurs after I install the vga drivers off of the disc, or from the website, after I restart the computer it will get to where Vista has the bar going accross the screen, then when it should show up the login screen the TV goes black and has not support in the top right corner. If I don't install the vga driver's it works just fine I have even tried at the lowest possible resolution 800x600. I don't believe the TV is 1080p I think it is 720p and I am hooked up by RGB cable (VGA). Any help would be great!

I would suggest installing the driver's using a secondary display and once you have it set up properly, then use the VGA cable to connect to the LCD TV, televisions can only display certain resolutions, and will go black when they are being sent an unsupported resolution.

Thank you for the input I will have to try it out. I know that the computer works on a second monitor I tried it when I first started having the problem. I guess I will have to research my friends TV and see what the right resolution is. Thank you again.

Hook the computer up to a normal monitor and set the desktop resoluton to 1360x768 then hook it back up to the tv.

might need to check that the refresh rate isn't set too high either. not sure what refresh rate that tv would require though.
