Computer Won't Boot With HDTV Connected
Hi guys I have a problem with my new computer, when I have my Acoustic Solutions (CTVL26W3HD) HDTV connected to it via HDMI to DVI cable it does not boot up.
However it works fine if I boot it up with the VGA monitor and then connect my HDTV afterwards.
I have also tried using a HDMI straight lead (for my xbox 360) with the same results. I then thought about swapping the cable round so that its DVI to HDMI but my HDTV doesn't have a DVI port so I can't do that either.
My TV does have a port but VGA to VGA is impractical because my computer has only one VGA port.
Basically I want to use my HDTV for watching HD Movies on Windows Media Centre, but still have my VGA connected for browsing and gaming etc.
Any suggestions, ideas or comments are fully appreciated.
Cheers, Dave
