I take a chance that some one here recognize my problem and can come with a tip to point in the right direction.
I have a HTPC connected to a LCD TV. A couple of days ago I installed a new graphic card with Radeon HD 3450.
After a series of reinstallations and registry cleaning I finally got everything working.
Well nearly everything anyway
This computer is always on, When we want to use it, we switch the TV to HDMI (dvi<>hdmi) as input and use the remote to control the comp and GBPVR.
But the problem now is that the graphic card puts itself in some hibernation mode when our TV is set on something other than HDMI.
The trouble is that I can not wake it. When I select hdmi, I only get a black screen. The computer is working (I accidentally started playing a movie yesterday when I tried to wake it, but all I got was sound) but no picture.
I have turned of screensavers and energy saving modes.
What I can do is to use the power button on comp or remote to set the computer in hibernation and then wake it from that again.
Does anybody have any ideas how to get rid of this "feature"? Or how to wake the graphic from it's coma...
