Video Setup Problems through Sony Receiver

I am having problems connecting my computer (for TV, gaming, etc.) to
any one of my Sony STR-DG600 receiver's component inputs. My
computer's video card has component output, which works just fine when
I connect directly to my home theater projector. Taking the same
component signal from my computer to either of the receivers' component
input channels (DVD or TV) does not work.

I verified that both of these receiver component input channels (DVD
and TV) work if it receives a signal from another source, like a DVD or
xBox.

Crazy thought, but are there different component video signal
"strengths"? I'm wondering if my receiver may require a minimum
component signal strength which it may not be getting from my
computer's component video output...someone recommended a video booster
but I want to get some other advice first.

Any suggestions are greatly appreciated.
