1080P 60hz give no UI, 24hz works fine.

    I just installed 7 v7.90.010. I have an nvidia 1050ti connected to a a Pioneer PRO-151FD TV.

    The UI defaults to 720P and works fine but has severe overscan. When I try to change the resolution to 1080P 60Hz, the UI shows up and disappears and then comes back and keeps disappearing and flickering, or sometimes does not show up at all.

    However, when I set the refresh rate to 1080P @ 24hz, everything seems to work fine.

    Here is my xrand output:

    Screen 0: minimum 8 x 8, current 1920 x 1080, maximum 32767 x 32767
    DVI-D-0 disconnected primary (normal left inverted right x axis y axis)

    does anyone have any idea where I should begin to troubleshoot? I would like 60hz to work for when i watch TV shows, and 24HZ to work when I watch movies.

    If you have another device that outputs 1080 at 60hz I'd try that on the monitor to test it. It may be an issue with the monitor itself.
    Once that has been eliminated, you may need to look at any addons installed those may be the cause.

    If you can (I'm assuming this is a laptop or desktop) have you tried a fresh install on another boot media/device and see if it works then.

    This could also be related to the HDMI cable.
    How long is the cable which you are using.

    for long cables (around 10m) you need to make sure that it is a good cable with more thick wires inside or else it will not work correctly at 1080p.

    I am going to replace the cable. Right now I have 2 cables running through a coupler that then goes to a monoprice HDMI switch that then goes to my AVR and then to the TV. So yes , less than ideal. I just bought a good quality 20ft cable and will run it straight into the AVR and I will report back.

    I found that 1080i is also working. I also connected a different tv straight into the same machine and it worked fine so I suspect either the cable setup is bad or there is something with my TV. Thanks for the suggestions.

    Yeah, you can't even begin to troubleshoot anything until you take case of that cabling mess.

    Well. Good quality cable going straight through to AVR seems to have done the trick. Everything working great 60hz and 24hz switching great. Getting perfect pass through audio as well so I am a happy camper.

    Moral of the story. Good cable going though the fewest number of devices possible. thanks to everyone for the suggestions.
