I have an Acer Aspire AM5640. The motherboard is model MCP73PV according to CPU-Z.
There is an HDMI port on the motherboard/back of the computer, and I would like to use it to hook up my PC to my Samsung HDTV.
Now, I have an ATI Radeon HD 3450 that came with the computer.
I've hooked up my PC to my HDTV before via the VGA port, and it would automatically detect my TV and display the desktop on there, but now for some reason it wont. I haven't tried hooking it up to the HDTV for a few months, decided to do it today, and it wouldn't work. It says "No Signal".
I've tried using the VGA port on the graphics card and I get "Mode not Supported". If I try to use the HDMI port on the motherboard/back of the computer, I get "No Signal". This seems like a big difference in errors and something that's causing me trouble.
So, my question is; how can I use the HDMI port on the motherboard/back of computer to hook up my PC to the HDTV so I can view 1920x1080? I've had 1920x1080 via the VGA port, but now I cannot do it for some reason, as mentioned above.
I'm really at a loss at what to do. I've tested the HDMI cable, and the VGA cable with another PC, and the cables and HDTV works fine. It's definitely something to do with my PC.
Please help me as it's really frustrating. Thanks and sorry for making the post so long.
