not sure if its a Gcard problem?

Hi
I am running windows 7 for my media machine, all this does is watch/record TV, dvds and the like.
but i have a problem that keep happening, when i turn the TV off, or even in standby, sometimes the picture will not come back on, when it does come back on just before it it makes the double dum dum, like when a usb devise is plugged in.
graphics card is a radeon 3450 HD, and tv card is the haupage t500 (which i know is USB internally on a pci card)

but it can happen even if i dont have the windows media centre open.
so is it the tv card, or graphics card at fault?
and without buying new cards is there a solution?

sorry I should have said, but drivers are always first thing I do with problems, and nothing changed
but thanks for replying.

it's a dvi to hdmi cable, not adaptor.

the PC is on 24/7, only ever turned off if i cant get the picture back on, or power cut.
in answer to your question, yes still no picture, when rebooting its always hit n miss to if it will come back on with the screen

i have ordered a new dvi-hdmi cable, so hopefully that will sort it.
