I have been running a 4870X2 for a while now with a 19" monitor and a 33" HDTV... I've never had any problems with it untill I had to refit my 8800GTX to show it was still working for the guy who wanted to buy it, I already told him it was probably going to give me loads of problems messing with the drivers and boy was I right.
When I had the 8800GTX in windows started updating drivers through windows update, and froze the PC.. When I wanted to reboot there was no video signal and the only thing that fixed it was just refitting my 4870X2 once again, then taking it out again and putting the 8800GTX back.
Now that I've sold my 8800GTX I can no longer get my TV to run on my 4870X2 anymore.. Usually it would even show the post screen and windows booting on my TV, but right now it won't even run with only the TV plugged in. The 19" monitor still works fine, and when I want to extend my desktop the the TV in CCC the screen flashes once and then nothing happens, still can't see anything on the TV.
I've hooked up the TV with an HDMI cable attached to a HDMI>DVI dongle.. I've already replaced to dongle to see if that was the problem but it's still not working.. Now I don't want to run off and buy a new HDMI cable for 70$ if this is also not going to work.. It would seem strange to me anyway because the HDMI cable has barely even been touched.
I've already tried all the basic stuff like reinstalling drivers etc, I've even just done a format and installed the latest catalyst drivers (8.9) in the hope that I can finally watch my movies again on my tv.. But no such luck, still the same problem.
I really hope someone can help me with this because im really close to freaking out... I might've made some money selling my 8800GTX, but right now it isn't even worth it looking at all the trouble it caused.
My specs:
Win Vista Ultimate X64
