Tv No Signal

It should be an option in your BIOS settings. Get to BIOS using the instructions that came with your motherboard--I'm not familiar with Gigobites motherboards but the procedure will be pressing a specific key after power up.

Fill in your System Specs too. It helps define your system to folks that are trying to help. You can get to it through the "User CP" link at the top of the page.
OR
Click on "My System Specs" at the bottom-left of one or your posts then click on "Update your System Spec" under your list of specs.

If you have it, it should be under Configuration > Video (or similar). There could be multiple options that need to be set. These may be called; Video Device Priority, Integrated Graphics Device, IGD Primary Video Port, Primary Video Adapter. The names may not be identical but you need to Enable IDG, Set which video port will be your display and which adapter (IDG or Nvidia) is your primary (display).

I can't help with the documentation. Every time I've tried to click links on the Gigobites site, It goes nowhere. They must be trying to load scripts and that's not going to happen here.

Forgot to mention: You may have to actually Enable the HDMI port also. This could be a separate/stand alone option. Your best bet is to get the documentation for your BIOS. There may be others but these are common controls.

Open Device Manager and expand Display Adapters. Is your on-board IDG shown?

Make sure you have the latest drivers installed for your IDG.

Your TV must be on and connected to your PC.

Right click your desktop then click on Screen Resolution. Does it show two displays? If not click on Detect.

Right click your desktop again then mouse over Graphics Options > Output To > Extended Desktop > select Digital Display + Digital Television.

Change your TV "input source" to the HDMI socket connected to the PC.

If you don't have a picture now, try another HDMI cable.

Mine does not show 2 displays and when i click detect nothing comes up except for the one i already have. and when i right click my desktop again there isnt any graphics options

If you can't find a display adapter in Device Manager then it's not turned on in the BIOS.

Post a screen shot of your Device Manager.

Well there a setting has option for the idg to be in uma or disabled

Its not turn on in the BIOS. List word for word the options that are listed in the BIOS for the IGP.

What's "uma"?

Get the documentation for your BIOS and study it. You won't be able to use the on-board graphics (IDG) if it's not enabled and shows in devices. Once it shows, load the drivers. Then we can go from there.
