Display resolution stuck at 656 x 496

[mikesylv]

One day everything was fine, the next the option to change the resolution was greyed out and stuck at 656 x 496. The name of the monitor comes up as strange symbols. I reinstalled drivers, searched google, can't seem to find a fix for this problem. As you can imagine, it's impossibly awkward to use.

I've attached pictures of what I mean.

Windows 7 home premium 36bit
Asus z87 pro motherboard
Intel i3 Processor
Corsair Vengeance 8GB DDR3 (2x4GB ram)

Let me know if you need more info.

Thanks!!

Hi Welcome to Seven Forums ... Have you always used a 32 Bit OS ? ...


You should really Install a 64 Bit OS to make use of your Ram ...


Which Graphics Card are you using ?


Also what type of Monitor do you have ? ...

Hello!

I'm using a Samsung 225MW and I don't think I have a graphics card. Maybe I'm using the one on the motherboard... if that's even a thing.

Have you just recently Installed Windows ? ...

 

[mikesylv]

About a month ago. But only up until a few days ago the display was perfect.

Install the Chipset and Graphics Drivers from the Link below ...

Yep, tried that too. Still exactly the same.

Have you Installed the Driver for the Monitor ? ...

 

[mikesylv]

Oh, I didn't know I had to? Its just a TV, it didn't come with a install disc or anything. Also, it was working perfectly before.

Agree should work with out Software ... Maybe the Links below might help ..

All the correct drivers are installed. Still got the same problem!

Your computer should automatically detect that TV without any softwares. Tried plugging in a D-Sub port?

That's what I'm using.
