PC Not Detecting TV via HDMI {Or the other way around?}

[K Crafton]

I hooked my television {VIZIO: D32h-C0} up to my computer via HDMI and the TV is displaying no signal. Hooked the TV up to my XBOX 360, worked just fine.

I've tried restarting, I've tried unhooking my other monitors, I've tried everything I could feasibly think of and I am drawing a blank. I tried yelling at the bloody thing.

The TV doesn't show up in my Devices/Device Manager, nor my NVIDIA Control Panel, but I know the HDMI port on my GPU isn't broken as I tested another HDMI monitor that I was selling.

What do? I just...I got nothing.

Specs:

CPU: i5-3570k @ 4.5
MOBO: INTEL DZ77-70K
GPU: EVGA GTX 1070 FTW
RAM: G.Skill Ripjaws X, 16GB, DDR3-1600 Memory
CURRENT MONITOR: HP W2072a, 20.0" 60Hz Monitor

does the TV have more than one HDMI port, does it have a "PC Mode"?

It does have HDMI ports but both are picking up No Signal. It doesn't have a PC Mode that I've been able to locate and I've scoured this thing by now.

hrm. You've tried plugging into the tv and restarting the computer too right? I know I've seen that once where a monitor refused to believe anything was plugged in until i restarted the computer while it was plugged in.

I tried that, to no avail, sadly.

you're using the same HDMI cord you tested with the monitor too right?

Might as well trying reinstalling the drivers while you're at it.

I am using the same HDMI, yes. Which drivers should I try to reinstall? The Nvidia ones?

 

[why_wolf]

Yes. It probably won't change anything but you might as well.

I managed to fix it by peeling the rubbed at the base of my HDMI cable. Apparently, the small section of my case between the GPU Port and the HDMI cable was enough that a connection wasn't be made properly.

Thanks for the assist though. Way better than the nightmare that was VIZIO Support.

lol, it's always the dumbest things isn't it.
