Hey y'all, ive recently have been having trouble with my 660ti. ive had my computer sense November of 2012 and haven't had a problem with it. recently i went on a trip and brought my computer(before i left i had my computer set up on a 32' 1080P Vizio TV as my main monitor and a secondary dell 1440x900 monitor). when i got there i set my computer up on the same dell but instead of the tv i had a HP 2011x 1600x900 and it ran fine. after i got back home i tried to set up my computer again but this time if i tried to boot with the 32' tv and the HP 2011x my TV would say no signal and my HP would go to sleep after my computer would get past the windows loading screen. it only works if i have my HP plugged in. also whenever i try to plug the hdmi in after it gets very hot. if you need any clarification let me know, i know thats a mouth full lol. thanks in advance

Hi Airforcesgt1... So it works with the dvi by itself and the hdmi only after the card heats up?

I would try the monitors and the same cables elsewhere to confirm they're good.

After that, because you've moved it around, I would unplug and remove the 660ti, blow it out with canned air for dust buildup and then reseat the card. Reseating a video card fixes a lot of issues.   Blow the air thru the fan and out the back. 

Check all the connections to the 660ti card and the motherboard.

While you're at it, might as well use the canned air to clean the other fans and your cpu cooler. The small spaces in the radiator or air cooling vanes behind the fans can plug with dust causing heating issues.

Good luck.

If the hdmi connector is heating up that fast, my guess is a short is causing heat buildup from too much current draw.   The short could be the video card itself being defective or your hdmi cable or tv.   Try the cable and tv elsewhere if you have the option to see if it's that.

If it is the card, no way to fix it.
