OK, I found out what the problem was.
My computer was built for me by someone in my family.
There are two HDMI cards. One on the mainboard and one he put in himself.
The one on the mainboard is the one I was trying. The problem with that is he had turned it off in the BIOS so it does not interfer with the video cards.
The one that is active is the third party card.
Now here are some additional questions:
1.) With having this HDMI cable connected and on my monitor there are no icons on my desktop and no BIOS POST. I only see my desktop theme. If I unplug the HDMI cable and turn on the computer than everything is fine. How do I fix this?
2.) On my TV, the desktop does show but the resolution needs to be changed because the desktop is not fitting properly. How do I change this and what resolution should I change it too?
3.) With using the HDMI to view my computer on my monitor. Should I unplug the VGA from the monitor? Or leave it connected? If leave connected, should I use DVI or VGA for the monitor?
