No display when switching inputs

Hi all

I have had a problem for a while now which I haven't had the time to investigate fully but now its annoying me to the degree where a post asking for help is in order.

I have a Yamaha RX-V765 which is connected to my LG PK590 via HDMI. My HTPC (HP Microserver with an ATI HD6450) is connected to the amp via HDMI. Simple enough setup.

My problem is that if I am watching the AV input and then switch to HDMI to watch the HTPC it results in the TV displaying no picture (LG spinning symbol with "no signal" bouncing around the screen). This is rectified by rebooting the HTPC and keeping the amp/TV on the HDMI inputs.

I didn't used to have a problem and I can't pinpoint what may have changed at the time it stopped working. No hardware has changed, no cabling or inputs. The only thing I can think of that has changed is the Catalyst drivers.

Anyone have any experience of these things and can maybe point me in the right direction? I really don't want to have to reboot my HTPC every time i switch input :(

Thanks for your help.

Edit: I should point out that this problem does not exist when switching to the XBOX (HDMI2 on amp) or PS3 (HDMI3 on amp). So the problem must be hardware (graphics card?) or driver related with some sort of problem with the amp detecting the signal from the graphics card and displaying it?

I had a problem similar but it seems to have fixed itself a while ago.

I'm not sure what happened to fix it but before I found that instead of restarting my computer, I could go to screen resolution and click detect and it would bring the screen back up.

Sorry its not exactly what your looking for but thought id let you know.

Thanks for trying but due to not being able to see any display I cannot get to screen resolution to try change it. I have to RDP to the HTPC and perform a reboot that way :(
