Asus Z97-A (Intel HD Graphics 4600) + HDMI to TV

ThaChad · 26 Jun 2015

Hey all,

I recently built an Intel Core i5-4690K w/ Asus Z97-A Motherboard. It has built in Intel HD Graphics 4600.

The motherboard has HDMI/DVI-D/S-VGA & Display Port.

I am using a Insignia NS-28E200NA14 28" 720P TV as a monitor.

It has HDMI and VGA inputs.

I use to just run VGA, but with my new computer I am doing a dual boot Windows 7 / OSX system.

OSX does not support VGA only DVI and HDMI...

Soo, fast forward to my problem, I am using HDMI which works fine, except that every time my computer goes into power save (sleep) mode, instead of the tv/monitor also going into sleep mode as it did with VGA, it just says No signal then after a few minutes of no signal, it turns it self completely off...

The problem with this is that every time I want to wake the computer up, I also have to turn the TV/Monitor back on as it has shut itself off completely instead of just "Power save" mode..

The motherboard's DVI port is a DVI-D port, so I can't simply just use a DVI-I - VGA adaptor...

Is there any kind of solution for me? I've got to use either the HDMI, DVI-D or Display Port as those are the only ones that are supported both by Windows and OSX.

Thanks!

Thanks for the help, but what does scan disk have to do with my question/problem?

Check the monitor settings (monitor's menu/setup) and see if there is a choice to Not turn off monitor when no signal is detected. From my quick review of the manual it looks like the monitor should go into standby (not shutoff) when no signal is detected. Here's a link to the manual Insignia? - 28" Class (27-1/2" Diag.) - LED - 720p - 60Hz - HDTV - NS-28E200NA14 | Insignia

Just that maybe the drivers or files that are related to your problem could be corrected with these scans (that is if they have been become corrupted in some form) - if you think they are not needed then that is your decision. Plus I did say just for starters and for the time it takes I don't see what the problem is.
