    So as of the other day I installed aliens colonial marines and during the process it was installing net framwork 4.0 and requested a reboot, after that I have had no HDMI at all. currently running vga with my 24" dell ST2421L and I'm at a lose I really don't want to reformat my HDD and I have gone to every extent to try and get this beast to behave from going in the registry and seeing what was recently changed to recovering to before this happening. Any ideas to why this happened? if you need any information post it and i will get it put up for you. all specs are in the sig, driver is currently the 310.90 i believe, I have deleted and reinstalled 4 different drives even the latest beta was tried and nothing worked.

    Alrighty then 5 days no replies..... Does anyone have the slightest clue? I know you all been seeing this so I don't know why you guys are acting like you have never seen this before, essentially it seems to me to be a software hitch that windows had and if there is a way to reverse it so please any input will do.

    Trying a system restore to a date before the issue happened is the only thing that comes up to my mind on this.
