no boot when hdmi connect

Question

Hello to all,

my first own raspberry 2 (raspbian jessy) does not reliable boot when switched on power.

I tracked the problem down and figured out that booting with hdmi connected will fail very often.

Is this behavior known?

Or rather an effect on my monitor?

Is there a way to fix it?

Best Regards

Stefan

Dear all, I used the same HDMItoDVI cable on my Asus monitor at DVI input. It works So I consider my SyncMaster SA300 to be the problem. Thank you for your support Stefan

Hi, When not using HDMI, does it boot and you SSH or use it headless? I have had some troubles where the monitor/TV with HDMI does not recognize my Pi because of cables or HDMI standards like CEC incompatible issues.To learn more read the CEC section and try it from Raspberry Pi - Robert Eklund's homepage.
