Fatal1ty F-I90HD display problems

[PlymWS]

I managed to get the PC to stay in 720p output mode even when I switched away from the PC input. I achieved this by installing Vista and the appropriate Vista drivers from the Abit website.

You read it here first; Vista actually solved a problem !!!!!

I have just built a Media Center PC using an Abit Fatal1ty F-I90HD primarily because of the HDMI port on the motherboard.

I have set the OS up fine, installed all the drivers on the installation CD and updated the BIOS to version m612a13.zip. I have the PC outputting video to my plasma TV through the HDMI port and the sound through thr SPDIF output.

My problem comes when I select the TV away from the PC to another input. For example if I select the SCART input then straight back to the HDMI input I get a black screen. The OS is still running because if I press buttons on the keyboard things happen behind the black screen and I can hear the relevant Windows sounds.

The only way to get the display back is to reboot the PC. The same thing happens if I turn the PC on without the HDMI channel being selected on the TV and change to the HDMI input after the PC has booted.

I have looked but found no mention of a problem like this anywhere. Has anyone else experienced anything like this ?

Did you find a solution to this problem as I have exactly the same issue?

Running in 1080 mode and if I switch away from the HTPC to another source for more than a few minutes then I have to hold the button in on the pc and restart
