[GTX770]No display output HDMI/Displayport when booting

I've recently upgraded to an Haswell setup with a MSI Z97 pc mate and MSI GTX770. The card seems to work fine when I use DVI output. However, when i try to use either hdmi or displayport I only get display output once i'm in windows. The bios and booting process give no output on either connection.
Is there something wrong with the GFX card, is there some bios setting i can try?

Thanks for the quick reply. Will this GOP UEFI bios make Displayport work on boot?
don't know, maybe

I've never heard of GOP UEFI bios, so I don't have a clue what advantages I get with that.
its related to Win8 features, ultra fast boot and so on if you decide to use such

  • SERIOUSLY NEED HELP! Computer trying to display tons of jpegs when booting; causes computer to freeze.

    Please help me. This is a terrible situation. Last night, I was making a movie with iMovie and trying to find a way to export it that would be compatible with the item on which I am going to be displaying it (an Epson MovieMate via a USB Thumb Drive). I was SO frustrated that none of the formats iMovie could export in were compatible with the MovieMate, and also frustrated that the software I found to convert it from one of the iMovie formats to a format usable on MovieMate wouldn't convert the entire movie for free in its trial version, only half the movie.
    Desperate for a solution, I was going through all the different ways iMovie could export, and I found it odd, but I found this jpeg one. Knowing that jpeg is a format for still photo files, it did strike me as odd, but I thought I would give it a try and see what would happen. After all, my "movie" is just one still photo with music playing for a half-hour. It said it would take over 40 minutes to create the "movie," so I went to bed.
    To my shock, when I got up this morning, my computer was freaking out. It said that it had no more memory left or something like that, and prompted me to quit a bunch of open programs that weren't responding. I tried to do this, but it just wasn't handling things. Eventually the clock stopped progressing but I could still hear the processor working, so I just hoped it would work through the issue then snap out of it sort of, but instead, I eventually stopped hearing the processor sounds, and the cursor was also frozen. At this point I could see the whole computer was frozen, so I held down the power button for a few seconds to force the computer to turn off.
    When I restarted it, it was trying to re-start all the applications I'd had open previously. After several minutes of trying to get it to quit all these things, it finally did, but nothing was displaying on my desktop yet. Normally there would be a HD disk image and a few folders. I had seen in a Finder window that there were tons of jpeg files supposedly on the desktop (where I had designated the file to save to), but I couldn't see how many. It never occurred to me that this is how iMovie would render things when I told it to save the project in jpeg format. I expected one jpeg file, not some tremendous and unknown amount.There may be hundreds or thousands if it created a jpeg for each "frame." Even if it created one jpeg file per second, that would be 1,800, and I suspect there's more than that. There could be several per second. Five per second would be 9,000 jpeg files. I hate to think but there may be a whole lot more than that even.
    Finder continued to "think." I was never able to access it to do anything with it. There was a "stuck" Finder window which was displaying the Desktop folder, which is how I saw that there are multiple jpegs there. After a few minutes, I re-launched the Finder and was able to command it to not try to open a Finder window upon re-launch. After it re-launched, I could hear the processor working for a few more minutes. I think it obviously was working to display all the files on the desktop. The clock froze again, and the cursor movement was jumpy. Shortly, the cursor would not move anymore, and I could not hear the processor sounds anymore. The computer was frozen again. I held down the power button again to force it to shut down. When I re-started it, I logged into the Admin account (which I am using right now), which is the only way I think I can use my computer right now. I was also hoping I could access the files from the Admin account and just get them to display in a window so that I could delete them. I just want to delete them at this point. I wish I had never done this! I wish iMovie didn't even have that option or that iMovie would have explained to me what was going to happen if I were to proceed! I don't use my Admin account very often and wasn't really sure what it would be capable of doing. I can open a Finder window and access my Time Capsule, which contains something that looks like my hard drive image but when I double click on it, I get an error that says The following disk images could not be opened Macintosh.sparsebundle: Resource temporarily unavailable.
    Anyway, please help! What do I do to get my computer back to normal??? I just want all those jpegs deleted and want to be able to log in and boot up like normal! This is a terrible situation as I use my computer for work and everything. I was needing to print some things for a presentation tonight. Please help me! Thank you!
    Melanie
    P.S. I just now got a Time Capsule backup message that came up and said Time Capsule could not complete its backup because Time Machine is unavailable! I am concerned this jpeg situation has gotten completely out of control and has gone beyond affecting my computer to also affecting my Time Machine!
    (Also, additionally, assuming I can get my regular user account to boot up again at some point, if anybody happens to know how to get an iMovie file to save as .mpe, .mpg, .mpeg, .dat, or .vob, that information would be greatly appreciated.)

    It worked! Thank you! I finally just finished about 20 minutes ago! It took over 26 hours to complete the process you described, but I stuck with it and it worked. I am glad I didn't give up or "forget it" as some might have suggested. That would have set me back until tomorrow!
    Ultimately, it turned out there were 45,910 jpgs created. No wonder it took so many hours to render/display them all. It ended up being about 10 hours before it seemed they were all rendered but the process between them displaying and being able to start really deleting them took a few hours because partly I was asleep and also partly it took forever to do anything. Any action as simple as selecting and right-clicking to Get Info, or emptying the trash, would take 20-30 minutes, a couple times longer. The clock stopped many times for 20-30 minutes at a time, a few times over 30 minutes, before catching back up. My cursor never froze which is what really kept me going, although it was a spinning beach ball for most of the time. I was never so relieved to see my regular cursor as opposed to seeing a spinning beach ball as I was early this morning after about 10 hours!
    Once I was able to open a Finder window and select all 45,900 files (I had already deleted 10 in the previous couple hours during experimenting of trying to figure out what would work best), then right-click and select to move all the files to the trash, the process of moving them to the trash took 4.5 hours. Then deleting them from the trash took a couple minutes. There were 21.4 GB!!! No wonder the whole process took 26 hours!
    mende1, thank you so much!

  • Backlight shuts off when booted on Leopard Install DVD

    Booting my macbook pro on the optical drive (by holding the "C" key at power up),with the Leopard install DVD causes the backlight on the display to shut off. Reboot with the OS on the hard disk (OS 10.4) and the display works fine. Playing with the screen brightness keys has no effect on the backlight when booted on the DVD. I also did a pmu reset (remove battery and hold the power button for 5 seconds) The display functions normally during regular use, It only happened when booted on the leopard install DVD. I was able to complete the install with a 2nd display connected to the dvi port and the display now works properly when booted under 10.5. Just wondering if anyone has seen this behavior or has an idea of the cause.

    I have the same issue. Can some one please help? Thanks

  • [SOLVED] Only HDMI/Displayport audio outputs; no sound from speakers

    I have a Dell XPS14 running Arch, which has worked fine for a while, but now has suddenly stopped detecting the internal speakers and headphones, so it will not play sound.   I have tried a few things to narrow down the problem, but I've had no luck so far.  In GNOME shell, when I press the physical volume up/down buttons on my laptop, it displays a sound icon with "HDMI / DisplayPort" underneath . When I go into the gnome shell audio settings menu, everything is greyed out, and no output devices are listed. 
    If anyone has any suggestions as to what the problem might be or how I might go about troubleshooting it from here, I would appreciate it.
    One thing that struck me was that I had installed a music player, Clementine, recently, and I'm not sure if I did or did not ever have sound after that. I installed Clementine and two optional gstreamer0.10 plugins (bad and ugly). Since this seemed like it would be possibly related, I've since removed Clementine, the new gstreamer plugins, and all of their dependencies not needed by any other package. So I now don't think that is likely to be the problem. Just to be thorough, though, here are the packages which were installed:

    Thanks again for the info and suggestions.  I thought the same thing regarding the sparse output of alsamixer, but since I never had trouble with the sound before, I don't know how much would have shown up when everything was working well. 
    I still haven't really found a smoking gun here, unfortunately.  As far as I can tell, the power saving settings look about right, because the power saving settings for the HDMI audio (which works) looks to be the same as the others.
    Thanks for the link with more information regarding the module options for the intel sound driver.  I'm going to dig into those when I have time next week.  The thing that makes me less optimistic that I'm going to fix it with module options is that I can't figure out how those module options would suddenly change.
    I'm also going to try out the linux-lts kernel to see if it behaves any differently, and then maybe boot another distro with a usb key to see if it works, and if so, what looks different.
    Here's what I get from the suggested tests. Let me know if anyone sees something strange that I missed.

  • Display output on LED TV from DisplayPort on zbook 15

    Hi,
    I have a notebook zbook 15 Product D5H42AV.
    On this laptop I have a DisplayPort output and a Thunderbolt output.
    I have bought on the market an adapter (not from HP) from DisplayPort to HDMI.
    I cannot get the output displayed on my LED TV (full HD).
    Could it be that the adapter supports only DisplayPort 1.1 and not 1.2?
    If I want to see the screen on TV, shall I use the a DisplayPort adapter or Thunderbolt adapter?
    Is there any way to troubleshoot why I cannot display the output on TV from my laptop?
    This question was solved.
    View Solution.

    Hi Provost,
    thank you for your feedback. I have tried but still not working.
    According to this document:
    http://h20195.www2.hp.com/V2/GetPDF.aspx/4AA5-2657ENW
    it seems that I should connect the HDMI to DisplayPort:
    *DisplayPort connector supports a DisplayPort display, a HDMI display with an DP-to-HDMI dongle, a VGA display with a DP-to-VGA dongle, or a DVI display with a DP-to-DVI dongle.
    I have a Samsung TV Series 6 with 4 different HDMI input:
    HDMI1 (STB)
    HDMI2 (ARC)
    HDMI3
    HDMI4 (DVI)
    I have tried with all of them unsuccessfully. I'm afraid that my DP-to-HDMI dongle that I bought on a local internet shop and it's made in China is somehow not fully compatible with my zbook.
    Maybe I should buy the original one from HP.
    When I connect the laptop to TV I saw that somehow the TV see that the port is connected but it says "No Signal".
    Also pressing F4 and checking with the Screen Resolution windows (in Windows 7) shows the second display as VGA. So it looks it does not detect the DisplayPort.
    Is it possible that the port must be enabled (bios or Windows setting) or that I miss some drivers?
    Checking on the Internet I found that there are some adapter that can connect also to the thunderbolt port:
    https://m.cdw.com/shop/products/StarTech.com-Mini-DisplayPort-to-HDMI-Video-Adapter-Converter/197508...
    The product is described as compatible with zbook 15
    However the official HP site sell a dongle only for the DisplayPort:
    http://shopping1.hp.com/is-bin/INTERSHOP.enfinity/WFS/WW-USSMBPublicStore-Site/en_US/-/USD/ViewProdu...
    The adapter I'm using can be seen in this page:

    It's the "DisplayPort Male to HDMIF Active Adapter" (top right code 26-655-01).
    I'm a bit confused now. I don't know if I have to buy a different adapter or if there is a way to troubleshoot my problem and see if the DisplayPort is enabled and working on my laptop.
    Regards.

    I've found that the order of operations, so-to-speak, can be important when hooking up mini display port to HDMI.  I have the most success with the following operations in this order:
    1)  Plug HDMI cable into mini displayport adapter (the cable should not be plugged into either the TV or the computer at this point)
    2)  Plug the mini displayport end of your new super-cable to the computer.
    3)  Plug the HDMI end into your TV.
    4)  Switch inputs on your TV to the proper input.
    5)  If still nothing on the TV, try a different HDMI port on your TV.
    Hopefully this helps!  Good luck.

  • 27" iMac, HDMI/DisplayPort adaptor, LCD TV as an output monitor

    I'd like to know few things before I dive into the world of FCP/FCE.
    Is it possible to set your Samsung 52" Hi-def LCD TV to act as your output monitor (or secondary screen however you call it) from the DisplayPort on the 27" iMac? If so, how do you set it up?
    Basically I'd like to view what I'm working on the FCP out to the 52" TV as if I'm watching the HD cable TV.
    I already bought the HDMI/DisplayPort adaptor (1080p) made by Kanex. It's also designed to carry digital audio through the USB.
    I did manage to duplicate the Mac's desktop on the TV but the image quality wasn't what I'd expect from the 1080p HD. I am using the hackable Panasonic GH1 camera.
    Anyway I did try to set it up for the iMovie but couldn't.
    I went to a few Apple Stores nearby but no one could answer my question.
    I'd appreciate your expertise.
    Thanks.

    The display port sends out a COMPUTER signal. Even if you convert it to HDMI, it is still a computer signal, and not a VIDEO signal. Different characteristics. And the computer image isn't the proper gamma, it doesn't show interlacing properly among other things.
    For proper video monitoring, like you'd see it on your TV from the cable service, you need an HD Input/Output device, like Matrox, AJA, Decklink, MOTU. Unfortunately with an iMac, your choices are VERY limited, if they work at all. The MOTU V4HD is your only option, as it uses a firewire interface, and doesn't take over the FW bus (Unlike the AJA IO HD).
    What you have might be fine just to see things bigger, but not good for any critical judging of your image.

  • SPDIF output is disabled when connecting a HDMI device

    Hello, hope someone can help.
    I've got a Toshiba SAT U500 with Realtek audio driver. I want to send the video to the TV (via HDMI) and still send audio via SPDIF to the digital receiver. By some reason it is automatically enabling HDMI audio when I connect the TV, and on the SPDIF output (icon on Windows 7 -> Control Panel -> Hardware and Sound -> Sound) a telephone sign appears.
    What does that telephone sign mean? How to make the system not to disable SPDIF output when connecting a HDMI device?
    Thanx in advance!!!

    Welcome to Apple Support Communities.
    Take a look at the article linked below, it provides information and troubleshooting tips that can help you resolve the no video issue with your Apple Digital AV Adapter and your iPad.
    About Apple Digital AV Adapters for iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch - Apple Support
    Troubleshooting
    If you encounter an issue using the Apple Digital AV Adapter or VGA Adapter:
    Disconnect and reconnect the adapter from the iOS device and display.
    Connect directly to the TV, projector, or external display using a known-good VGA or HDMI cable.
    Remove any VGA or HDMI extension cables or converters.
    Note that accessories that convert a VGA or HDMI signal to other video formats (DVI, Composite, Component) are not supported.
    Ensure that you are using the latest version of iOS. Some Apple Digital AV Adapters require iOS 5.1 or later.
    Ciao,

  • I have the mini display port cable to hdmi.  When I connect I can get audio but on the video I get the display auro screen and can't get my actual display to show as that is not what shows on my display.  How can I fix this?

    There is a little white bar. When you have your TV connected, move the white bar to the other display. Your main desktop is now the TV screen

  • Why does the Retina Screen on MBPR2013 make a Weird Flash when I have a External Display via HDMI hooked up?

    I just bought a new 2013 early MACBOOK PRO RETINA.  When i have an external Display hooked up via the HDMI port, I noitce when I wake the computer UP it has a Different type OF QUICK FLASH that comes up than when there is nothing hooked up so I don't know if that makes sense to anyone, but its very disturbing to me, it makes me wonder if there is something wrong with the HDMI PORT ?????   Has anyone else experienced this or knows if this is NORMAL behavior of the new RETINA displays or the HDMI port makes it FLASH weird upon WAKE UP???   I have unplugged the HDMI and when I do the SCREEN comes up normally it just blinks on.  But when HDMI is used its light lightening stike.  Don't know  how else to explain it, maybe i need to do a video and Post a video.

    One more disturbing thing.  When the screen on my MBP goes black and I check the system preferences for "Displays", the MacBook Pro display is not presented as an existing display.  Only the still-functioning Apple 20" Cinema Display. 
    Where did it go??

  • My 27" iMac displays vertical green lines when turned on and then will not boot up

    Can anyone tell me why my 27" iMac displays vertical green lines when it is turned on and then will not boot up?

    Welcome to Apple Support Communities
    The display or graphic card are damaged. The only thing you can do is to take your computer to an Apple Store or reseller to get your computer repaired.
    If you use an external display with your Mac, connect it to your computer and see if these lines appear on the external display. If so, it's a graphic card problem

  • Mirror Display when Booting off Installer CD

    So, the screen on my MacBook Pro spider webbed and is not usable. I currently have an external monitor attached. Is there any way, when booting off of the installer CD, to have my external monitor mirrored as opposed to extended desktop mode? Essentially, I need to use the external monitor as my primary monitor while I run some utilities off of the installer CD.
    Is there any sort of key combination that switches from mirrored to extended desktop? Any other options for an environment where there is no System Preference Display pane?
    Thanks.

    have you tried just running a repair disk with the disk first aid in disk utility well booted to the install disk cause alot of times it might find a repair a error and then the computer will be ok to boot i would try running the disk first aid befor reinstalling the OS plus if it finds no errors there is always a archive and install that you can do which saves all your documents
    see this article for more details on this
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=107120
    if it finds errors then just try to keep repairing i would say a good 3 times if it doesnt get everything after that then a erase will be what you need to do
    and if you have a second mac you can always try target disk mode to get into the drive to do a back up this article is a good one for how to do that

    let me know how you make out
