HDMI Problem with my Alienware M14x

Question

Hi, i have an alienware M14x, when i connect it to my Sony TV via HDMI it doesn't show anything on my tv. My cable is ok because i used it with my XBOX 360.

I guess the problem is with the Intel HD Grafics 3000 (driver) because it show this message: "Monitor/TV Settings are not supported". I try to update the driver and it didn't work

I need to fix this please help me with this.
