    Ok, so I go to get the latest drivers from nvidia while my computer is hooked up to my tv, it installs, tv goes blank. I restart the computer and resolution is set to 800x600 hdmi wont work. Only other resolution i can change to is 1024 x 768 or 800 x 600. HDMI does not work anymore. Is the device manager there is a exclamation next to the onboard graphics card but when I hit update it sayus I have the latest driver...what the hell is going on..

    HDMI works fine for me with latest drivers. Maybe try installing them without tv attached and try again?
