Monitor Problem

DoctaGrimz — Sat, 14 Sep 2013 20:59:06 +0800

I have a LG Flatron W2443T monitor. In the beginning there wasn't any problems with my monitor, as I could easily set it to a 1920x1080 resolution. But after switching to a LG flatron 19" monitor then switching it back to my 24" monitor, my computer detects it as only a 19", therefore maxing out my resolution at 1280x1024.

I have reformatted my computer just now, and it still recognizes my 24" as a 19". I am able to force it through Nvidia control panel to a 1920x1080, but many other games and program still only give a maximum resolution of 1280x1024

Any thoughts or suggestions will be tried

Thanks in advance

I've also attach a picture of my settings.

Hi guys, I have a problem with my computer for some time, but it disappeared for a while and recently came back and has been plaguing me ever since.

1st, here is my specs:
MOBO: GA-880GMA-UD2H
PSU: CM 550W 80PLUS
CPU: AMD AM3(cant figure out further details of it though)
RAM: KINGSTON DDR3 1333 2GB
HDD: WD CAVIAR BLUE 500GB
OS: WIN7 32bit

So not long ago, my computer started rebooting itself randomly. Not at the bios, but sometimes it even restarts during safe mode. And just recently after crashing, i have to wait around 3-5minutes before it even allows me to restart.

I have taken off my HDD, but problem still persists. I've reformatted, and memtest is ok. I've also cleaned out the parts to ensure heat wasn't the culprit. I've also swapped PSU and it still persists.

Any idea what may be the cause? Thanks in advance.

EVGA GTX 680 problem?

Hi guys, quite new here, so any advice would be appreciated

So I have a problem with my 3-month-old EVGA GTX680 4GB. For the past three months i've been absolutely contented with the performance. However, two days ago I had to remove my PSU for cleaning issues, and when I put everything back, I noticed my graphics performance wasn't the way it used to be.

Here's my computer specs:

Windows 7 (build 7600) 32bit
Intel® Core™ i5 CPU 750 @ 2.67GHz (2664MHz) x4
NVIDIA GeForce GTX 680 9.18.13.2014 (4095MB) x1
Gigabyte GA P55-UD4P
Kingston KVR DDR3 1333 4GB x1
Kingston KVR DDR3 1333 2GB x1
Western Digital Blue edition 1TB x1
Hitachi deskstar 250GB x1
Gigabyte Odin PSU 800W

Before taking off the PSU, I could play GTA4 on all high settings smoothly (assuming 60 fps). Now i'm getting a terrbile 10 or less fps playing on high.
Same goes to Dead Island riptide. Had no prob until taking out and putting back PSU. Now i'm having mico-stuttering in-game.

I've also uninstalled and reinstalled the latest Nvidia drivers. I'm using the Beta driver(320.14) right now.

Does anyone have any clue?

Thanks in advance.
