Anyone successful hooking up a computer through a processor?

I have a nad processor and I connected the HDMI from a desktop tower to one of the HDMI sources.

Don't have any problems with Apple TV or cable box.

It's very glitchy and does not work very well. It worked once and now it doesn't work anymore.  You would think this would be pretty simple.

Thanks

Check the maximum frame rate you have set on output.  Processors may not be able to take mroe than 30 or 60 Hz

It's strange because every time I want to switch to the pc i get a no signal Display on the screen.  I fix it buy reinserting the HDMI cable, either side.  I have a really really good HDMI cable and a old one and they work the same in the situation.

I run a computer HDMI output from a video card (4k capable) into an input of an AVR receiver so I can watch content on Youtube and downloaded content.  Works great.  Can watch netflix and Amazon too.  I installed an 4k fanless video card in the computer.

Is it connecting right after you reboot the computer with the HDMI cable attached.  Have you checked your PC power setting to make sure it's not turning off the monitor.  There also may be a computer BIOS setting regarding video that could be checked.

Ahhh, that's an interesting clue.

So HDMI has a lot of handshaking going on.  It may be the order you turn on each matters.
