not that I know of. My understanding is its partly not standards for a minimum hdmi display that is universal and possibly no room to add in bios. whereas computers long ago incorporated a minimum vga spec in the bios and monitors would understand that signal to display. you need display drivers for the communication to the display, plus hdmi allows two way communication and computers dont understand how to listen to that from a display. Its also why you shouldn't connect hdmi cable while one device is turned on as it'll be sending power and you can short one or both devices. I get a similar problem in my home theatre and rebooting my media player is all thats needed, happens periodically so could be a signal buffering issue where once corrupt can only be fixed by turning off and on again. In your case I might be inclined to investigate a video converter/switch box that can translate from computer to display, when you watch a computer monitor on computer turn on you'll see it flicks a few times between resolution (usually a blank screen) before you reach your desktop where the graphics drivers are fully loaded, I suspect this is where the corruption occurs over hdmi as it isn't expecting to get different resolution signals sent so rapidly whereas vga/dvi have the default vga resolution built into the spec. not all hdmi products have implemented the hdmi standard completely either, they may have cut corners and until your computer has loaded the desktop fully neither the graphic card nor the display device know how to communicate on a common level yet, its the graphic drivers that control that and they only get loaded at the desktop phase and are not used during boot up usually, prefering to stay on vga until better is needed. *nix varients often load a higher resolution common driver early on to make it easy to display and read output messages during boot. If you do look for video converter unit, do not buy cheap ebay garbage as you're more likely to have the same issue for the same reasons of corner cutting and hdmi version implementations.
