    According to the specs I found on your graphics card, it doesn't even support HDMI. How are you connecting it to the TV?

    Is the onboard video enabled in the BIOS?

    Ok 1st off which video are you actually using. Your motherboard has an onboard video. You said you plugged a vga from the motherboard. And then DVI from the 8600GT. You can't do that. Which means you're not going to get video from the DVI no matter what. It sounds like you've been using the onboard this whole time. Which is also why your Shogun 2 from the other thread is not compatible. If I'm incorrect in the assumption then you need to plug the vga from the 8600GT. And you'll need to go into BIOS and disable the onboard video so that your video card is used.
    Ok nevermind I see after posted the in the other thread you are running the 8600GT. Yeah both cables should be coming from your 8600GT.

    Im not sure if the onboard graphics are disabled, but the IGX graphics is set to disabled. I found out that i've been using my gfx card for output to my monitor, and i've been trying to use my hdmi from my onboard to get my desktop on my tv. But... i went on CYRI again and it says i have the same gfx as before which means i have always had my onboard disabled. So will enabling my onboard allow me to use my hdmi to watch movies on my tv?

    Yes, but that would disable your 8600GT. You can't use both at the same time.

    Well, not necessarily. Intel will allow you to enable both. (And use them.)

    The BIOS should show the options for graphics and HDMI.
