Only in my World!
Everything went like the instructions, but for whatever other reason a video issue cropped up. This is an HTPC. I did the REGEDIT change no problem. Did a restart and hit Delete key to enter bios and screen went blank. No image. I know it is unrelated to the registry change, but you can see this could pose a problem.
I tried both DVI (with DVI to HDMI adapter) and HDMI ports on the ATI 5970 card using HDMI to TV, but neither would produce a picture. I finally powered down and installed my desktop monitor with DVI connection. Everything worked fine now. Go figure. I went in and changed the bios to AHCI and rebooted. Installed drivers and everything looked good. I disconnected the monitor and reconnected the TV. No picture. again trying all ports. Nothing. Finally reconnected the monitor and it worked fine. Set bios back to IDE and did a system restore to get WIndows back to where it was before the change. Reconnected TV, rebooted and all is good only no AHCI.
I realize there should be no connection between the AHCI and the video issue, but can someone point me in the right direction? This makes no sense to me.
