Dear all
I'm at my wits end with my HTPC. I had to buy a new mobo, CPU and RAM because the other went **** up.
The mobo has a 760G chipset and onboard Radeon 3000 graphics. If I use these onboard graphics, when I switch my TV on with the HTPC already switched on, I get no display, requiring a reboot or putting the computer to sleep and waking it back up again to regain a picture.
If I use the GeForce 8400GS graphics card that operated perfectly in my old HTPC, the Media Centre menu is very choppy, but there's no issue with the TV display working.
I don't know how to fix either of these 2 problems, and I'm about ready to throw the whole thing out of the window.
Please, please please can anyone tell me what is wrong with my computer and how to fix it? I'm desperately sick of the number of hours this is consuming and I don't know where else to turn as I've tried every driver, option and setting possible. I just don't know what magic setting I'm missing to get this all working as it should
Many thanks
Michael
