So after the last power outage, upon rebooting I noticed some flickering on the monitor/TV (Old 65" Vizio 1080P). I ignored it as I rarely use the TV and it ran fah fine. Until fah went down today and went to check on it.
After a bit of troubleshooting I believe I have 2 issues one the Yamaha Receiver which all devices pass thru is the issue. The other odd problem is I cant bypass it for just the one PC(No screen shows up). This TV I mounted with a non swing out mount (Which I decided was a PITA so I'll never do that again.) So unlike my main TV I can't get to the back where everything is plugged in myself.
The Roku I run thru the receiver was able to work briefly bypassing the receiver (Which also showed me the TV was working fine.) It than thru up the HDCP error for a bad device or in this case an HDMI cable.
I set everything up 10 years ago March 2013. That is how old the receiver is and the TV is from Black Friday 2012. I don't remember much about how I set it up.
Powering devices off from the power has always fixed glitches in the past but not this time....It is going to take me hours to pull things apart clean everything replace all the HDMI cables with HDCP compliant ones and put things together in an orderly manner. I'll lean toward fixing any issues by throwing money at it (New receiver, maybe 4K 86" TV etc.) My excuse to the wife will be "I can't walk on the treadmill without a bigger screen"
I'll see if I can get the PC running on a 32" TV I have, until I redo everything. It should have just worked for fah but I'll have to figure out why the PC is acting up regardless of the TV flickering which shouldn't have an effect on fah...It would be an awful coincidence if a GPU was failing on top of things.It has this problem with the other PC as well so that indicates it is not the PC hardware...
Gonna take me a while for this one. I'll be down for a week coinciding with the after labor day heat wave....Thankfully we have 50's at night.
