Hi there,

I have just build a HTPC with 780G chipset( ASUS M3A78-EM) nothing special in the machine, 460W CoolerMaster PSU,4GB Ozc PC6400 memory,WD 640GB hardisk, AMD 5600+

I tried to use the HDMI slot on the motherboard to connect my tv(SAMSUNG LE32R87BD), the TV is able to get the signal but the quality of the picture is unbearable, all the font is almost unreadable, broken, and shadowing. And it is flashing when showing the windows welcome screen.

I have tried to install window xp,2003,vista, nothing improved. Also, the drivers are all latest from Asus website including the Bios. I also tried AMD/ATI version.

Change to different resolution and scan rate didnt help.

PS: I also tried using VGA cable ( D-sub) and it is perfectly fine working under 1360*768@60hz

Could anybody help? I really want to get the HDMI working.

Thank you
