trouble connecting laptop to a AOC monitor via HDMI
specs:
dell xps l501x laptop
windows 7 home premium 64 bit
AOC monitor (no issues here)
recently bought a new AOC monitor 6 months ago and it worked flawlessly up to two weeks ago when it suddenly stopped working with this laptop. monitor still works great through HDMI with my brothers mac and with a seperate Blu ray player also via HDMI. so its not the monitor or cable that is causing the problem.
the driver for the monitor is installed correctly and all the extra graphics drivers such as nvidia have been uninstalled and still the screen shows 'no signal'
i suspect the issue is with the HDMI driver which i have not been able to find a driver for (i recently reformatted my laptop and had to re-install all drivers even for USB ports and mouse ) however reformatting the laptop was done in an attempt to solve this issue.
any help with this would be much appreciated as im at my wits end with this issue.

Your system has a hybrid Intel-nVidia video setup - install the nVidia drivers (be sure you installed the chipset drivers first).

Chipset drivers - Intel.

Video drivers under Video (nVIdia).

If both video drivers are now correctly installed, the last thing you should need is the Dell Quickset utility (look under utilities on your drivers webpage).
