    I keep getting a white blank screen on my HDMI In on my M17x R3 system. I currently am using the 11.11 drivers on it and it switched between the interl and ATI graphics with no problem at all. And actually the whole system works great right now but I would like to get my HDMI In working again.

    Has anyone else had this problem? And if so how did you resolve it? Thanks.

    Faulty motherboard? It seems to happen quite a bit.

    I already did that, I reformatted the whole system and the problem is still there.

    I have to power my system down, plug in the hdmi source and power it on, then turn on my laptop. I am running nvidia though fwiw.
