    The screen works if i switch to integrated graphics.

    Here's what i've tried so far:
    No HDMI signal message on the screen all the time. Any ideas?

    The issue was fixed by using DDU and 375.70 drivers.

    HDMI is a PITA. I use it to watch movies and it always needs some sort of tweaking to get it to work. My 8 year old Toshiba and my brand new Dell are exactly the same too as far as problems go.
