Hi all. Wondering if someone maybe able to help me in reagrdsto my VGA cable to TV

I'm trying to watch films from my laptop to my tv using a VGA cable. When i plug both ends in i have to adjust the resolution to 800x600 to get the screen to come on otherwise it says no vga signal through pc. But when it is set at 800x600 the pictures flickers slightly and every now and again it will completely cut out saying no signal again. i have tried it in another laptop and it works fine so its not the cable. am i doing something wrong or could it be a graphics card problem ? sorry im not very good with computers.

Thanks for looking and anyhelp would be much appreciated :)
