I have connected my HTPC to my HDTV through HDMI cable. My HTPC is
loaded with Windows 7 Home Premium 64 bit.

My HDTV is 40" LED Samsung full HD.

Everything seems to be working fine except at times, it shows "no
signal" HDMI4 and after a while it again starts working. "Screen
saver" is set to none.

I am unable to figure what the problem is or could be. HTPC is only 2
day old.

Have you checked the cable connection? That's usually a good place to start
for this kind of problem.

1. With everything turned off, unplug both ends of the cable and then
reconnect them; make sure both ends are solidly seated.

2. If you have a spare cable, try that.

3. With everything hooked up, watch the screen while gently shaking and
wiggling the cable: see if moving the cable around causes problems with the
display. If it does, could be the cable itself or one of the connectors.
