I run a TV display and a regular monitor hooked up to my PC. Both are 1080p displays. They are not both on at the same time, I have an HDMI switch. Everything had been working fine for months. Recently, a new problem appeared - when I switch to the TV monitor it starts freaking out - there is no picture, it just start flipping between resolutions (and not the correct ones at that). Occasionally, however, it will work fine.
I checked and it is not the switch - a direct connection from the PC has the same result. This only starts to happen after the system boots into Windows, if I boot with the TV monitor, everything looks fine until the windows welcome screen disappears and the desktop is supposed to come up. This is a windows 10 x64 pc with an nvidia 970 display adapter. I tried uninstalling the adapter and installing an older version of the drivers, since older drivers worked find, selecting a clean installation, but that hasn't helped.
Uninstalling the adapter entirely and deleting the display driver works to an extent - I can see the screen, but it won't let me adjust the display settings. Reinstalling the adapter makes the problem reapper. So a driver issue, but how do I solve it?
