I am in the process of hooking up my wireless HTPC and have run into a brick wall.My problem is after I set up the BIOS the display will not come on(sort of).Before BIOS it shows the Gigabyte Logo and the post screen but right before I get to Windows it goes blank.It works in Safe mode but I cant finish my set up in safe mode.My TV is not VGA compatible so I am using the HDMI(the one that connects to GTs 450)My HTPC set up is<> Win7 64 ULT<>i7 950 3.47gHz<>2 GTS 450 SLI<>12gb Corsair XMPS@1333mHz<>1000w Silverstone DA1000<>Silverstone RV01 Raven<>Lite -On Blu Ray burner<>Asus combo drive<>Corsar H70<>Gigabyte X58 USB3 motherboard<>Asus Xonar D2X<>Display 60inch Mitsubishi 3D HDTV

Why do you have SLI and a 1kW PSU for an HTPC?
Anyway, what are you setting up the BIOS for? What exactly are you doing there? Can you install the drivers for that video card in safe mode?

I had evrything set up before I moved it upstairs.Everything worked.Tweaked BIOS to my needs(set AHCI for Ssd etc)The drivers are already there I just cant get the computer screen on.TV works well with everything else.Its odd,it comes on in safe mode but not normal mode.Now in my TV settings there are three video format options-I have tried all 3.I will retry again.When I turn my Blu Ray player on it takes awhile for the TV to recognize it-it eventually does but it is slow-the tv reads:"invalid format"but works a few seconds later.Maybe I should just reset the features for the TV.When I hit the power button(computer)the Gigabyte screen comes on,the Bios screen is on the,the POST screen is on but goes out right before I go into Windows to type my password.

I have these components from a left over build and I got the i7 950 for $199 so it was a great deal.The case was one I bought in 2008 along with the power supply so I just used these
