PC to TV HDMI Issue

[RJEwing]

Hello,

I can not get my Vizio (Model E371VL) to display my desktop. I just purchased my computer on Friday and updated Windows 7 and my GPU. I can display my desktop by using a DVI to VGA cable but when I plug in the HDMI it says "No Signal". Sometimes it says "Retreving Data" and then says "No Signal" again.

TV: Vizio (Model E371VL)
GPU: NVIDIA GeForcw GTX 570
Motherboard: ASUS P8Z77-V Deluxe

If it was that problem, setting your computers resolution to 1280x720 would have done the trick. Guess not.

Hmm do you know if you have onboard video? Can you disable that in the bios. Cant see this being the problem but is worth a shot.

Can try also in the nvidia control panel under 'manage 3d settings' setting an option for multi-display/mixed gpu to single display performance. While you’re there checkout the other tabs on the left hand side under display; change resolution ; view hdcp status; Could be an option there somewhere that can help you.

I don't even know what that means! I also don't have an option to view hdcp status.

I checked your motherboard and you do have onboard video. This could be the problem.

To get into the bios you need to restart your computer, upon boot up press delete to enter the bios.

Look for iGPU multi-monitor and disable it.

Save & exit.

Attempting now. Thank you for all your help regardless!

It was already disabled.

ok can try uninstalling Lucid Virtu MAX if it is installed. This is the software the igpu uses.

Sorry for the question, you are using the right hdmi port? The graphics card, the one that should be used has an hdmi port next to the dvi port. Reason im asking and sorry again if its silly is the motherboard has one too.

I am an idiot haha. That was it! I did not see the HDMI port near the DVI because it was not labled like the one I was using. I switched my TV to HDMI and saw my desktop but no icons then I fixed that. Thank you so much for all your help.

hahaha your welcome mate. im happy now too

Enjoy

On a final, ironic note: I think my display looked better using DVI then HDMI.

yes it can be that RJ, i would check if the tv has any options itself to do with overscan and clarity settings.

Also on a final note myself, to have the other hdmi port working you'll need to enable the igpu in the bios.

Thanks for selecting best answer.

Will iGPU work if you have two monitors connected to the GTX570 card?
