Tv not displaying anything after boot and windows logo

[boomboxjones]

hi guys, i'm new here and i know there are many posts similar to this but i have not found a solution that helps me so here the problem.

I have a machine running windows 7 64bit and previously i had a 500gb hdd in the machine, i purchased a tv monitor of a friend who had upgraded his, but once i connected this through dvi i have the issue stated no signal past the windows logo upon boot. my friend came around to my house one night and solved this issue, he did something within the task manager and something else and by magic it worked, i think he said something about conflict of drivers i'm not too sure we are going back a few years. So i KNOW that my monitor works because it has been working for 3 years at least.

Now my hdd failed so i recently upgraded for a nice new ssd super quick as we all know, i did a fresh install of windows and now i am having this same issue with my monitor not displaying and unfortunately for me this time i have not got a friend so close by to come and fix this again.

so what i do know is that there is a fix somewhere within windows and that i do not have any faulty hardware or monitor, but i am stuck.

if anyone knows what this fix is please can you help me out because it is starting to annoy me knowing the fix is out there and i can't figure it out!

I'm pretty new to Win 7 but I wondered if it's a resolution problem. I hope that when you boot up you can press boot options and see if you can boot to VGA mode. If not then safe mode.

If you did get a screen change your resolution to lower.

What make and model is your motherboard, what's the driver version your currently using for the graphics card? Check in device manager.
Also, is this a new Dvi cable?. Does it have the correct pins?. Some have more then others.

Also what is the make & model of the TV ? What different resolutions does the TV allow ? Is there a switch or menu option on the TV or remote to change resolution ?
