(see specs) In short, the new card is connected with the monitor via DVI, and with the TV via HDMI. I have tried the Win 7 reinstall five times but the problem is always there. If the HDMI cable is connected to the card I have black screen on the monitor during the boot, so am unable to enter BIOS cause I can't see what is going on. The screen appears when boot is finished and desktop is loaded and then it all works fine. If the HDMI cable is unplugged from the card there is no issue at all. The monitor is set as a primary display with desktop only on primary display but to no avail. If the HDMI cable is plugged in I have the black screen during boot time, be it after power on or restart. My old card (plain 1050) never had the issue. Wonder if the new 1660 Super I got is just super crap (at least for Win 7) or there is sth in the install process. Also, using the latest driver.

Will try another fresh install with the procedure from this other topic if noone has any other ideas:
