Hi guys, got my rig from OCUK today and relised I might of made a mistake or something. I want to use my rig, connected with HDMI to my LCD t.v. SO far I've not been able to get an image onto the screen from my P.C! Any help here?? Do i need to change setting in the control panel to activate the HDMI slot? DOes only the DVI work as a standard start off???
