Monitor cant be set to the right resolution

I have had this hp 2711x monitor for a few years now, and the resolution setting has been perfect. Then a few weeks ago the resolution changed to 1024x769 by itself and is listed as generic non-pnp monitor. I tried to change it back to the usual resolution but I cant change it back. I have tried to force set it using nvidias tool but to no avail. I plugged my tv into it and it was fine so i plugged my monitor back into the computer and then it went back to the right resolution but when i turned the computer off the resolution went back to 1024x768 and I cant figure this out at all. I have a evga 560ti card and I have tried downloading other drivers too. Any ideas would be appreciated.

Try uninstall from Device Manager and also unplug power of monitor for a minute or two.

Didn't work, thank you though.

Is there any kind of driver for that monitor?

Yes there is and I already tried installing it and uninstalling it, but it didnt help.

Try this CRT Monitor locked at 60hz.
Came across it yesterday while searching for someone else

Yeah I tried it too. Thing is it only goes up to the resolution it is currently at.

Hmm that didn't work either. Do you think if I just completely wiped my computer and started with a fresh install that might do something? I guess it could also be a possibility that the monitor just doesn't work, but that doesn't make sense to me because it does work intermittently.

Tried another port on the GPU yet? Is there a factory reset option in On-Screen Display menu of monitor?
