Please help!
I have a HP ENVY x360 - 13-y023cl laptop that has a 4k display. Everytime I try to connect my laptop to a 4k TV using an HDMI cable it causes my computer to glitch out. The screen starts flickering/freezing up and eventually my laptop will crash and blue screen and have to restart. It only happens with 4k TVs/monitors, I have connected it to many 1080p TVs and it works just fine. Also the 4k TVs never receive any signal from my laptop. I've tried updating drivers but either I didn't all the right ones or it didn't help. I don't know what else to try.
Thank you!

A couple of resources for HDMI and 4k
Does it work?
and, from the same people,
What kind of HDMI cable is needed?
