I had a quick look for this problem but didnt really find anything (wasn't sure what to search for either).
I am using an HDTV as a monitor for my PC, but i'm having regular problems when playing games. Whenever I launch a game the screen goes blank but I can hear the game is going in the background (happens to AOM, Gears of War and a few others). The screen is still on (it's displaying black rather than being off) but I can't see anything. It's easy to fix, all I have to do is unplug the tv from the computer and plug it back in then I can see the game. This also happens (although less frequently) when I exit the game to the desktop. This is not a major problem but it is very annoying.
What I have done:
- Checked all resolutions to make sure they are native
- Put refresh rate at 60hz and enabled force refresh rate in CCC and in ATT (tray tools)
- Tried both monitor outputs on the video card (using VGA cable)
Any ideas? Thanks in advance.
