Today while i wanted to watch something, i turned on my HTPC and noticed screen is blank . Usually a restart or moving the DVI-HDMI cable from 1 to 2 or 2 -1 solves this issue . But this time it didnt . This time even the bios boot up was blank . so I

Tried a different cable .
Updated Drivers .
A VGA cable to Tv's VGA input works .

To see what was happening in Windows i used VNC and went into the Nvidia display manager, I could see my TV detected there yet blank screen?

I tested TV's HDMI ports by connecting other devices and there is picture .

Because TV dosent even display bios logo when connected up using DVI - HDMI, Im not sure if its the TV(TH-P42Py800) or the card(XFX 9600GT) .
