Solve : hook up my computer to tv? |
|
Answer» Hello, I got a cable today so I can WATCH my computer from my tv. I have a nvidia 8500GT card and Intel dual cpu at 1.6 ghz winxp sp2. When i hook up the cable to the vga card and tv my computer crashes. Anyone know what to do?what kind of cable is it? which port are you plugging the cable into on your computer? which ports are you plugging the cable into on your tv?The guy at the store sold me a cable that has 4 prongs. my vga card takes 7, but it does fit and the guy said that cable works. the port is RIGHT next to my monitor port. on the tv end I plugged it into the female video in hole. I got it to show a picture for one second and the screen and mouse on my pc froze, had to restart. after that tried again and sometimes I get BSODdoes it look like this? Yep, thats me!and is it the same connector on both sides of the cable? (I should have asked earlier) Yes, with a adapter to fit a RCA jack for "Video in"well, it seems that the connection is most likely CORRECT, assuming you're plugging the cords into the right ports everywhere. The next step is to see if you have the most recent drivers for your video card. you can download drivers from the manufacturer's website. install them, and try it again.I do have the latest driver, but I will reinstall and see if that works! Thanks for the help!If your gonna reinstall, I would COMPLETELY uninstall first.get the 7 prong HDTV cable and retest. Maybe 4 prong cable doesn't work (well) |
