Hey all,
Had mx X51 for several months and no problem. I even played a bit of Civ 5 this morning. But when I came home this afternoon, I booted it up and nothing but a blue screen. Now, let me clarify that this is not the blue screen of death. I route my X51 through my Onkyo receiver and TV via HDMI port, so every time I start the PC it does spend a few seconds at this screen before windows boots. I think to see the screen before windows loads you have to route it through DVI.
Well, just rushed to the store for a DVI cable and guess what...one end fits the PC, but the other end won't fit the television.
Any other idea as to how I can get a display to see what's happening at boot up?
Thanks.
