Solved! Audio but no video via HDMI through AV receiver

[siltsunrise]

Hi,
I have my nuc hooked up to my anthem receiver on to my pc monitor and get audio perfectly, but the video is corrupt. I can see it's my desktop by color, but it's torn up into horizontal lines and distorted completely.
I tried every possible hdmi setting option in the receiver and changed monitor res. and freq. but nothing works.
Any ideas?
Thanks for any help.

If you hdmi straight from your nuc (?) to your monitor ... how is the display?

Try a different cable.

I tried 6 new hi speed cables. Not the issue. Have audio, so that's impossible anyway, from what I understand about hdmi.

Does it work if you hook up the hdmi directly from the nuc to the monitor?

Video is fine direct from nuc to monitor. THought I posted that earlier already, sorry.

Do you see the bios splash screen when the system first boots up? If so can you get into the bios?
If not, then you likely have a hardware issue with the nuc.

what is the exact model of the anthem receiver? does it only have 1 hdmi out or multiple?

I don't see anything on the monitor but messed up lines of color, through the receiver.
It's an mrx510. WIth multiple hdmi in and out, all don't work with my monitor.
I just, finally, heard back from the seller, who swears up and down it worked fine for all his video stuff, so it must be my nuc and/or monitor.
I'm trying to sell it so as long as I know the receiver hasn't got a problem, I'm actually cool. I only bought it for music, thinking it had usb input like the previous models, but it didn't. Tried a streamer and thought about other options for playing files, but it's all too much hassle, so ditching this and getting an arcam with usb.
Thanks all for the help. Still curious, but not desperate, hehe.

try changing the hdmi output settings? section 3.1, like passthrough?
