Video question - Win7U/GA-MA785GM-US2H
Since I installed 7 for the first time along with a new MB I'm not quite sure if this is OS related.
My "Power Plan" is set to the default of Balance which is monitor off in 10 minutes and sleep in 1 hour. Screen resolution is set to 1280x960. If I return after a short period of time (less than 1 hour) and have to wake just the display everything is normal. If the time lapse is more than an hour and I have to wake the entire computer I find my display has switched to 1024x768. To fix this I have to visit my notification area and simply right click on the ATI icon and it switches back to 1280x960. Sound like an OS or video driver concern?
I did install the latest driver from the Gigabyte website. One interesting note is that in my notifications area it has 2 ATI video listings in the menu (pic attached) but in the device manager it does list only one adapter (pic attached). Not sure yet as I'm still researching but am assuming for now that the second instance in the notification area could possibly be for a dual monitor setup (which I don't have).
Any thoughts appreciated!
