Hdmi not working on Monitor

crnichm · Sep 12, 2013

Hi guys . I built my first computer last week. Currently I have it hooked up to my monitor through dvi. I'm trying to getting the hdmi to work though. Tried connecting it through my graphics card and my mother board and nothing. It is getting something though because when I switch to hdmi mode on my monitor it just gives black screen. However if the hdmi wasn't connected I would get no signal. Any help would be appreciated. Being as I just built it its drivers should be update. Although I'm new to this so I may have missed something.

have you tried another hdmi cable?

if you have tell us more info on your gpu/mb/cpu

Hdmi cable works tested when I connected monitor to my laptop. Here is my build http://pcpartpicker.com/user/IceyRush/saved/2jDh

mmmm... i hate to suggest this but what drivers are you using. as to the best of my knowledge every nvidia driver released since 314.18 has been mostly plagued with issues.

crnichm · Sep 12, 2013

It is version 320.49

there have been nvidia driver updates since then. get the latest whql drivers from nvidia and see if that fixes your issue.

I'm hitting check for updates on the nvidia driver software I installed and its saying there are none.

I think I already know the answer to this but are you using american megatrends bios? or a gigabyte motherboard?

crnichm · Sep 14, 2013

Sorry for the late response. gigabyte motherboard.

eatmypie · Sep 14, 2013

Just change it from dvi-d to dvi sometimes on those motherboards with that bio's hdmi won't work right unless you do

crnichm · Sep 14, 2013

I'm sorry how do you do that? Fairly new to working with computers.

eatmypie · Sep 14, 2013

Look under peripherals and just tab through them all to see I haven't had that bio's for a while now so I can't remember 100% where it is at

crnichm · Sep 14, 2013

I checked and didn't see anything having to do with dvi. Is there anything they might go by?

eatmypie · Sep 14, 2013

could you take a picture with the options you get for it even with like a phone or camera ?

crnichm · Sep 14, 2013

Here is a link to it.

Would you be able to return your video card or motherboard? to switch out for another brand? Like for a msi video card or motherboard? They both are great components but currently the evga bio's doesn't like the gigabyte bio's at all and currently nether manufacture has made a fix, I would say ether go and return the video card for a msi or gigabyte version or switch the motherboard for a msi or asus which I know will be compatible with that evga video card bio's Gigabyte GA-Z87X-UD3H ATX LGA1150 Motherboard. Really sucks though if you need help picking out something to trade in that will be compatible let me know. I had the same problem with my last video card about a year ago but I've upgraded since

crnichm · Sep 14, 2013

damn that sucks I might. Is it likely that I'd have any other problems though?

eatmypie · Sep 14, 2013

There have been several people complaining about it I would say maybe try and find a friend with a dvi monitor and see if that works, try to boot without the video card installed at all like a good video card to swap out for is the msi one or the msi gaming motherboard I have the msi motherboard works great with that card

crnichm · Sep 14, 2013

My monitor works. I was trying to hook up through my hdmi so I'd have sound. It is connected through dvi right now. I suppose I'll have to get another cord though for that.

eatmypie · Sep 15, 2013

Do you only have speakers built into your monitor?

crnichm · Sep 15, 2013

At the moment yes. Also thanks for all the help eatmypie. I appreciate it.

eatmypie · Sep 15, 2013

np, I would maybe recommend if you wanted a faster solution maybe buying like a $30 skull candy headset from target or walmart with maybe extension if you have your computer on the floor. Sound quality is really good even though those are cheap but I use them for casual use with my ipod they work great
