I recently bought an MSI R9 280X OC and I have exhausted all options in trying to figure out why it won't output a proper signal to my TV. I need some advice! This will be quite a long post but any help would be greatly appreciated.
First a summary of the problem and various configurations I've tested:
1) With the GPU installed in my PC (specs at the end of this post) and connected to my Panasonic TV (TX-L47E5B), the first time I turn on the PC I see this on the screen: http://imgur.com/cJMm1qo and after resetting there is only a blank screen. In both cases, the TV detects and input and changes to 50 Hz mode.
2) Using a different screen (such as a Dell monitor), the GPU outputs as normal and my PC works properly. GPU-Z detects the GPU as normal and I can play games. Similarly, using my Panasonic TV but changing the graphics card works just fine. I tried an ATI FirePro V4800 and an ATI 3870. The motherboard outputs also work with my TV.
3) I have tried a HDMI cable, DVI to HDMI cable, VGA cable via DVI to VGA adapter, and HDMI cable with HDMI to DP adapter. The DVI and HDMI outputs have been tested to work with other monitors. All of the cables I tried also work with other components.
4) I tested the following components from my PC inside an entirely different PC: GPU, PSU, RAM, SSD, and Motherboard. They all work properly.
5) The MSI graphics card has a BIOS switch but this didn't help.
It really doesn't make sense to me but maybe I'm missing something obvious.
Specs of my PC:
CPU - Intel 3570K
Mobo - Asus P8Z77-LV
GPU - MSI 280X OC Gamer Edition
RAM - 2x 4GB Corsair Vengeance 1600 MHz 1.5V
SSD - Crucial M500 480GB
HDD - Samsung F3 1TB
Sound - Asus Xonar D1
PSU - BeQuiet Pure Power 630W
