On a side note, why did you buy an HDTV for a computer monitor? HDTVs are really only good for a computer monitor if you are using your computer exclusively as a mythtv box (or something similar) and want a large screen. HDTVs generally have very low resolutions compared to typical PC LCDS and cannot handle the higher refresh rates and bit depths.

Thanks but I have done all of those things already (am connected to old monitor as we speak) and nothing has helped as far as changing resolution or refresh rate. I did follow all the settings in the manual for the TV and spoke with someone in CS about the TV.
As far as why I have a HD as a monitor.....well it is the TV in our bedroom and also my monitor. Why have two screens, when one can do both. I have used it as my monitor for YEARS now and never had an issue until I got this new PC.

I entered safe mode like this, and guess what?? It works fine in safe mode. That is why I don't get what is going on. When I use those same settings (resolution) to try and boot the computer regular, it doesn't work.
I am beginning to think there is no solution to this!!!
Edit: NEVERMIND!!
I FIXED IT!!!!!!!!
I had to change my refresh rate to 55, even though the TV manual said 60 and now it works.
Thanks to Shauk for the idea!
