Hi All,

Got a very annoying issue here I'd love some help on if you can!

Basically *sometimes* when I boot up my PC just after I see the Vista logo and it gets into my desktop, my PC stops outputting the video signal via HDMI. So I see it in bios, during boot, and all the way to the Windows Vista Logo. Then just when it gets into the desktop = bye bye signal.

When this occurs there is nothing I can do except to reboot and maybe it happens again, maybe it doesnt.

I am not sure what the hell is going on but its annoying , but its got to be software / driver related im thinking because it only happens after Windows is loading the desktop.

Can anyone suggest something I can do or what it might be? Really appreciate any replies.

Thanks,
