This kind of "No signal" right after changing a game's display settings is almost always an unsupported resolution or refresh rate being applied to the TV. was on the right track: if the picture appears in Safe Mode, the GPU and cable are fine; Windows is just trying to use a mode your TV cannot show.

Quick way out: on boot, press F8 and choose "Enable low-resolution video/VGA mode." Once you are in Windows, set a safe combo and apply it before closing the dialog:

  • 1280x720 @ 60 Hz for 720p TVs
  • 1920x1080 @ 60 Hz for 1080p TVs
    Keep "Hide modes that this monitor cannot display" checked so you do not pick a 75+ Hz mode that many TVs reject.

If you share the screen with a PS3 or use an HDMI switch, simplify the setup for testing:

  • Select the correct input on the TV and disconnect other devices temporarily.
  • Power cycle: turn off TV and PC, unplug HDMI for 30 seconds, then turn on the TV first, PC second, and plug HDMI back in to force a fresh EDID/HDCP handshake.
  • If your GPU has multiple outputs, try another port or a different cable.

If the signal only drops when launching a specific game, reset that game’s video settings by deleting its config file or start it in a safe mode (many games support a windowed toggle with Alt+Enter or a -windowed/-safe launch option). If you still get no picture even before Windows starts, that points to input selection, cable, or port issues rather than software.
