Hi again guys,
First off, thanks for your help with this http://forums.overclockers.co.uk/showthread.php?t=18581988
After we updated the BIOS with latest version, everything worked fine.
For a while.
Now when I flashed the BIOS I did it at my house with my second monitor and everything worked fine, however, upon returning to my friends house, we started having a problem.
Firstly, he uses a HDTV as a monitor.
On the first start up it got as far as the windows splash screen, and just when you would expect for the password screen to come up, his TV said 'no signal' or just hang on a black screen, there are no stutters or freezes in the splash screen, so i don't think its BIOS related any more. I thought it may be trying to render the resolution it last had (1920x1080) which his TV doesn't support, so I got around this by switching back to on board graphics letting it boot to desktop (which it did fine) then shutting down and switching back over to his gfx card.
This seemed to do the trick, but after a restart it was back to square one.
He was able to use the little work around for a while, but that seems to have stopped working.
At should at this point mention that he doesnt have a second monitor to test with.
Any ideas?
Cheers,
LoSt
