I've used three different HDMI cables and I've connected the PC to two different HDTVs and a monitor. I've used DVI/VGA cables where possible. Whether connected to the motherboard, or connected to the GPU, I get a faulty signal.
I'm always getting the "No signal" float box until I remove the cables, and restart the computer 3-5 times. When I finally get a signal, it stays strong.. I can restart the computer and it'll stay connected, except once where it went back to "No signal" after resetting. When I shut it down, it loses signal again..
I have no idea what the issue can be and have tried several solutions with no answer.
