Hi all!

Ok so I just spent a stupid amount of money on a pre built PC. This one to be exact :

Now I've just got it today and turned it on.. all going well :) the monitor wont arrive until Monday so for now I am using my tv as a monitor through HDMI.

My Problem : screen works when I plug the HDMI into the Motherboard port. but screen doesn't register anything when I try to connect the monitor via the Graphics card HDMI ports, Its just black.. nothing. Can anyone explain to me how to fix this? I know this is a really stupid question and I feel stupid for asking but any advice would be appreciated.. cheers.

If it helps.. its not actually plugged into the tv directly.. rather through a hi fi system which is connected to the tv.

THanks :)
 
Solution
You plug the HDMI to the first gpu's display outputs.
It should work with the TV using the HDMI, try directly plugging it from the tv to the gpu rather than via a hifi system first.
