    Greetings !

    Today I got a new monitor, and I have it plugged in with a hdmi cable, and an adapter since my card only has 1 hdmi output.

    But when I tried to plug in my TV as my second monitor with a hdmi cable (no adapter) my monitor goes black and gives me the message "no hdmi signal"

    Any ideas on how to fix this would be greatly appreciated!

    My graphics card is a GTX570 and my drivers for it are up to date.

    I did a rollback on my graphics driver, and that seems to have fixed the problem.

    Does anyone know if this is the only way to get to work? or is there something else i can try to get it to work on with the newest drivers?

    Assuming you're running Windows 7, right-click on an open area of the desktop and click on "Screen Resolution" (you can also get to this thru CONTROL PANEL > DISPLAY). In addition to changing resolution, it gives you options on detecting, identifying and selecting monitor layout (same display on both screens or splitting the desktop between two or more screens).

    If rolling back the driver solved the problem, don't sweat it. Just file this tip in case the problem comes back.

    Hope this helps. :)
