Morning

I have my laptop hooked up to my TV and after about an hour the sound becomes static and distorted. After resetting everything the picture no longer works, even when I unplug the HDMI cable and plug it into the DVD, or PS3. Thoughts?
 
try a different hdmi port on the tv (normally they have more than 1)
try a different hdmi cable (if you have a dvd and ps3 likely you have multiples)
try a different tv with your laptop (if you dont have one... your neighbors, friends or even a display tv in a retail store)

since you said your dvd/ps3 also didnt work i'd say either the port (or an associated board) is burned out. or it could be a faulty cable.
