To test the TV-out feature of your graphics card, turn off your computer. Then connect the S-VIDEO cable from your graphics card to your TV. If your TV does not support S-VIDEO, then you may need to purchase an “S-VIDEO to Composite” adapter. Once you have all the connections needed, connect your graphics card to your TV. Make sure there are no other devices in between, such as a VCR or switchbox. Unplug the PC monitor from your graphics card leaving only the TV connected to your PC. Make sure your TV is set to AUX or Line-In. Otherwise your graphics card will not detect the presence of a TV. Turn on your PC. The system should now automatically detect your TV and send the video signal to your TV. If it does display the video signal into your TV but stops once you boot into Windows, it may be a driver issue. You may download the latest drivers for your graphics card from: MSI Support Driver. If you do not get a video signal on your TV when you turn on your PC, then it means either your TV is not sending a video signal back to your graphics card to let it know that a TV is present, or the TV encoder that handles TV output is not functioning. If you have a different TV to test with, please perform the same test to see if the TV-out is working. Please be sure that none of the pins inside the video cable is bent or missing. If you cannot get TV output from any TV, your TV encoder is probably defective. If your card is still under warranty, contact your graphics card manufacturer or the retail store where you purchased your graphics card for possible graphics card replacement. |
