When Windows is booting it is using a low resolution basic screen resolution and VGA driver. Once Windows has reached the point that it can use its full video driver it does so. I suspect the screen resolution and/or frequency being used for the laptop is not compatible with the TV. You might be able to change the resolution for the external display (TV). I suggest you go to "Control Panel" and look for an Intel Display icon.

Good Luck
