There should be a button on the bezel of your screen that says "auto" or it might be in the OSD menu press or select "auto" whilst in the bios to see if this rectify's the problem

ive tried that. for some reason it just switched and went off centered when i restarted my computer. everything is fully up to date on my computer. theres not enough time to mess with the monitor to center it with the buttons. and auto doesnt work? hmmm

OK. Your are talking about the splash/post screen right? Not what you see if you are actually inside the BIOS? Did you make any changes in the BIOS? Or has the problem just started by itself?

 

[sogone209]

no not at all. im pretty sure my bios is up to date also. but im not sure where to find my bios update? acer aspire ax1700 x3700a is my computer model. my bios says R1-B3 in my tuneup utilities program. american megatrends is my bios provider if that helps.

OK. And this is the POST screen right?

yea it says acer and then i can pick boot up and enter bios,,, but its way off center,,, and when it says starting windows its like that also then when windows starts it goes normal? hmm im so confused on why its like that.

OK. I don't know if this will work, but its the only thing I can think of : if you can get into your BIOS, please check and see if there is an option called "Init Display First" or soemthing similar - it should be set to PCI. Can you check if it is?

hmm ok when i click my monitor display it says it display 1024x 768 . but my resolution is 1280x124 so its displaying my bios boot in 1024x768 so its off center. is there a way to make it stretch corrent again>?

Usually, that is done with the monitor controls : for example, when in BIOS use the monitor controsl to resize and move the image around.

Once in Windows, you might want to update the dsiplay drivers if they aren't already. I notce its an onboard Nvidia, so you might be able to go to the NVidia control panel and rezise and position there too. In fact, try that first before anything else.

i figured it out. i kept pressing the auto button on my monitor everytime i restarted my computer and it finally reset it back to normal. thank you so much i sent you some rep for helping me resolve this. is there a way to delete a tread thats resolved?
