I know this type of question has been placed numerous times but I am facing something weird for which I dont have any clues. I have purchased a brand new PC and I am facing HDMI connection problem in that. My PC is not detecting my Samsung LCD TV, although the same is working on my Laptop that has windows 10 installed. I am using HDMI port on my graphics card, although my motherboard does have an option for HDMI. (Checked the otherwise but its not detecting the signal too)
My PC configuration:
Intel Core i5 6402 Skylake
8GB Kingston Hyper X RAM
Gigabyte H110-S2PH Motherboard
NVIDIA GeForce GTS 450
Windows 10 (build 1511)
What I have done so far :
1. Checked the HDMI cable connection in My Laptop (Windows 10) and the TV is detecting the laptop signal. Working fine.
2. Checked the same thing with my another spare PC (Windows 7) and my TV is detecting the signal.
3. Installed the latest NVIDIA compatible drivers from the manufacturer's website but failed to make the thing work in new PC.
One thing i would like to mention that my windows 10 PC is running updates in the background. And there I saw the list of updates that are currently being downloaded. There is also an update for my Graphics Card Driver/Adapter but when I saw the details for the update I came to know the drivers being downloaded are older than the one I have already installed. I dont know whether Windows 10 need separate drivers for Graphics Card other than the OEM. If this is the case then why would the HDMI connection working in Windows 7 ?
The last option left with me is to install Windows 7 on my new PC and let the HDMI connection work. Any help would be appreciated. I am literally exhausted :-(
To make life easier, get a Chromecast and get going from there.
I suggest that you set Windows 10 to not update drivers through Windows Update. (It's not easy to block all updates, but we are permitted to prevent automatic driver updates.) That would allow you to keep the most recent drivers from nVidia.
Other than that, I don't know what to suggest. Is the TV the only monitor connected to the graphics card? (That shouldn't be required, but I'd try it just for luck.)

Thanks for your response. Actually the problem was in the cable, it was a little bit loose. When i tightened it, the thing got working. But I am now facing another problem. The HDMI is working but the second monitor display (Samsung TV) is showing Red/Blue Strips across the screen. Please see the attached images. Waiting for your response.
