toostrong4u Posted July 21, 2016 Author Share Posted July 21, 2016 Hi im having a problem when connecting my laptop to the tv. when i go to run it to the tv and try and start up a game it freezes the laptop to the point where i have to completely power down. On the laptop everything works fine but its when i go and try running through tv that it freezes and it only happens when i actually try to run the game. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

SentaiBrad Posted July 21, 2016 Share Posted July 21, 2016 What are the specs and age of your laptop? Are you using HDMI, VGA and how big is the TV's resolution? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SentaiBrad Posted July 22, 2016 Share Posted July 22, 2016 Ok so you certainly have a powerful enough Laptop to power a big TV. Update your drivers, restart your PC and let me know if this changes anything. It's also worth asking, has this problem only ever happened when launching a game through LaunchBox, or if any games is launched on the laptop to the TV?
