I have a GIGABYTE GA-MA78GM-S2H that I am using for a media center.
I was using the PCIe 8600gt for component video out to a TV that had no HDMI.
I got a new TV, tested out the HDMI using the onboard HD3200, and now any video that plays (TV, DVD, etc) gets green lines and streaks. To try and fix this, I updated to the F8a BIOS (the most recent one), but it didn't fix the problem.
I then tried to go back to using the 8600 and now the BIOS won't even detect it. When I disable the onboard video, it beeps at me like there is no video card, and I have to reset the BIOS to get the onboard to work again.
I am now testing it using a 19" LCD so I can keep the TV out of the equation and make it simple.
I reset the BIOS to defaults, which say to use "PCI first" then onboard video. When I hook the monitor to the 8600 it boots up, but I see nothing. I can switch the monitor over to the onboard, and I see it all booted up.
Nothing I do seems to allow me to switch back to using the 8600. I have taken out the 8600 and booted up, shut down, put it in, and booted back up... but still no go.
Is there anything I am missing?
