New TV = Black screen + cursor

Hi.

I recently purchased a new TV, which supports the same resolutions as my brothers that I previously used. I plugged it in and I have a black screen, with my cursor after windows loads up.

I have Windows 8.1 on the PC. I've tried almost everything. Every combination of reboot/plugging/unplugging the HDMI. I can't reboot in safe mode because my ASUS motherboard UEFI BIOS doesn't support it. I've looked through every keyword-relating thread on MANY forums and no solution works. I tried dual-screening and nothing happens, I've tried every boot up 'F' key I can find, but none override the ASUS BIOS.

It works fine when I plug it back into my brothers RCA TV, but my Samsung won't work. I've used my brothers TV to get it to operate in safemode, then switched it to my new TV and it works in safemode. Still connected to my new TV, I booted it back normally, and it's back to black/cursor screen.

I have no idea what to do, anyone have any experience/ ideas regarding the problem?
