• Screen goes black when plugging in TV.

Basically I have my monitor connected to my tower via HDMI, and when I wanted to watch something I'd connect my TV via VGA, once I tried changing the resolution on the TV and then both screens when black, I had to unplug the TV and restart my PC to fix it. Now I can't plug in the TV at all or its an instant double-blackscreen and a restart to solve it. I'm guessing the resolution change made something spas out, any idea what it could be?

A Standard Radeon 5770 doesn't have a VGA display port... Is yours low end? And are you using your motherboards VGA port (if it has one), or an Adapter on your DVI port?
Adapter on DVI I think, let me check a second. [editline]28th June 2011[/editline] Right, this is what the cable from my TV looks like.

I'll toss a bump up before I sleep.
