My PC is connected to my Sony Bravia TV via HDMI. Recently the screen will suddenly become blank although the background music is still running.

Now when I turn on my PC, the display often goes blank but I can still hear the sound played in Windows login screen. I have tried with the VGA cable and it still shows blank screen.

Previously the screen goes blank every 10 secs until I changed a new HDMI cable and the issue sort of goes away.

Any idea what is the problem? Thanks a lot

3 possibilities:
1. Graphics card
2. HDMI cable
3. Sony TV

Try the other HDMI port on your TV?

Does your TV have DVI port?

It doesn't have a dvi port but it has a VGA port. I tried connecting dvi to VGA and it's still the same.
I tried with another hdmi port on my tv and it's still the same.

I found out that if I press the reset button and then force shut down by pressing the power button. The next time I turn it on, the display is able to show. So is the graphics card faulty?
