I had a friend build me a PC months back and from the start it was trouble. At first it took me hours to get my tv to work with the towers hdmi cord I tired every port and combination on my tv and tower and had all but given up then it randomly started working. Yesterday I moved my PC without unplugging the cord from my PC and tv downstairs and plugged everything in and had no issues. Today I brought it back upstairs after unplugging the cord from the tower itself, now I'm having the same issue as before I can't get any picture.

I've tried restarting both my PC and tv, every hdmi port making sure to select the correct input on my tv, I've googled solutions and found nothing I can do. It's not the humidity cords either I've tried 2 different cords.

I don't really know my pcs specs because I'm bad with computers pretty much, but not incompetent. I'm running windows 10 and I know my motherboard is a Radeon but that's all I know off hand.

So when it isn't working, what is the screen displaying? Is it a black screen? Or does it say something along the lines of a "no signal" message?

Out of curiosity, is there another device you can plug into the TV's HDMI port to see if it works on that? Or vice versa, is there another monitor/TV that you can connect to the computer via HDMI to see if that works?
