HDMI Screen randomly goes black

[mxcolumbine]

Hi there.

I have a PC and an Xbox 360 both hooked up to my TEAC LCD LED TV. Everytime I go to play my Xbox I switch the channel over to AV1 to play. I come back to HDMI to continue using my PC after a sesh and the screen is black. I know the PC isn't asleep or anything, because it happens pretty much immediatly after I switch back and forth.

What do I do?

This is a "handshake" issue that is common with TVs when used with PCs.
Try changing the input back and forth. It might take 10 seconds for the desktop to come on.
I believe that the next version of HDMI addresses this kind of problem.

May sound dumb but have you tried turning the monitor off and on again. I use to have an old TV that did this.

yep, I have! Also the PC will only show up again is if I shut it down and turn it back on again.
