Hello, thanks in advance to anyone who's taking the time to read this, I'll try to make it brief and to the point. I've searched the bowels of the internet to find a solution to my problem, but could not find anything right for me.
I'll try to post pictures as I explain
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Specs:
Dell XPS 8300 (desktop)
Windows 7 (64-bit) Home Premium
Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-2600 CPU @ 3.40GHz
8.00 GB RAM
AMD Radeon HD 6670
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I've been using my computer since February, when I got it new. I've changed out no parts, although I did add a firewire card in some time ago.
I run display from my computer to a Sansui monitor via HDMI. I've had no problems running games or graphically demanding programs up until now. Some time ago, my screen would flicker black, but would recover very quickly, so I thought little of it. Then I was playing a video game a few days later, and the screen flickered, but this time it never recovered. I had no picture what so ever.
I tried seeing if a VGA cable would work, and it did. The thing is, if I left the HDMI cable plugged in while the VGA cable was connected, my computer would recognize the VGA video output to be a second monitor, so I just had a blank screen. This tells my that my computer recognizes the HDMI slot it occupied.
Anyway, I can get picture with just the VGA cable, but what happens now is that I'm limited to a low resolution. If I exceed 1024 x 768, my screen goes black. This is a problem when playing games, as some games automatically change your resolution for the game to run optimally. So most games I run result in a black screen
I have tried updating my drivers for my card, both manually and with catalyst control center. I have checked to see if my HDMI cable worked on another computer connected to my monitor, and it does. I have NOT done any checking or updating of my BIOS, since I have no idea what that is or how to work with it
Any help would be GREATLY appreciated. Thanks again!
