Windows 10: Win 10 update causes video to stop, screen shows no signal

On 9/10/2018 MS performed an automatic update to my Win 10 Home used on a desktop computer that has an Intel G41 Express Chipset and was originally a Win 7 machine and was updated using Win 10 disks I purchased. This combination ran well for me until the 9/10 update. When turned on the screen will come up but within a few seconds it will show properly , then go black and will oscillate like this a few times and then stay black and show a "no signal" display. I was able to recover by loading my Win 7 (forgot my 10 disks in Florida, my winter home) which loads into my C drive and I could then go to D drive and load the Intel drivers again. All was good for 2 days and the same issues happened again. I chatted with a tech and his brilliant response was "it's Intels fault for not providing a compatible update to us".

I guess my options are"

1. Go back to Win 7

2. Buy a video card (as cheap as possible) that hopefully is up to date drivers

3. Buy a new desktop which probably will not be MS driven


Hoping someone has the right answer for me. I need help!

xbox 360 splitting video signal

Hello,

I just happened to come over your post.

Could you please tell us exactly where you don't get any signal? Both the screen and the computer (via capture device)?

Have you tried the following?

• Make sure you get a signal to the screen when using an HDMI cable directly from the Xbox 360 to the screen. Please make sure all cables work.
• Make sure you get a signal to the capture card with the same cables.

If you get a signal on the screen but not on the computer, could you please try the following?

• Set the Xbox 360 to output at 720p. The frame rate will (or should) be 59.94.
• If possible, make sure you capture the video with the same settings on the computer.
• Try any other settings if this does not work.

If it still does not work, please try this in the same order:

• Power off computer (and capture device) and Xbox 360.
• Power on computer (and capture device) and wait until the capture device is properly powered on and initialized.
• Power on the Xbox 360.
• Make sure you can capture properly.

If it still does not work, make sure that one or more of the following are not defective:

• The HDMI-VGA/composite adapter.
• The VGA cable.
• The capture device (could be just the input connector).

If that works, please install the HDMI splitter.

I am wondering a bit why you show us the wires inside the HDMI cable. Did you remove the isolation and/or do something with the wires?

I am not sure what else to suggest at the moment.

Could you please tell me/us the model of your capture device, and also the adapter between the HDMI cable and capture device?

Regards,
