Issues after power outage

[Reality]

This morning the power co. mistakingly turned my power off, once i phoned them they turned me back on. Upon turning my pc back on, i noticed the POST text was a lower resolution and wasnt being stretched to fit the screen like before, and once windows tried loading to desktop im getting "signal out of range". The monitor is a soyo 24" 1920x1200, VA panel (dylm24d6)

Hooked my pc up to my Plasma and post screen is fine, windows boots fine

Could a power failure permanently affect the maximum resolution of a monitor?

You could try changing your desktop resolution to something lower and see if the monitor performs fine, also try turning down the refresh rate. If neither of those fixes the issue then I would point the finger at the monitor and begin raffling through the menu screens on the monitor to see if there are any options in there that fixes the issue.

None of that works? Well I would try the monitor on a different PC. Still issues? Its the monitor...

after much tinkering, im able to run the monitor at 1280x720 as long as i have gpu scaling enabled in CCC, also if i try to change resolutions in windows, the only options are 1920x1080 and 1280x720, so...a couple things:

obvious hardware scaler in the monitor is fried
wherever windows pulls possible resolution capabilities from on the monitor, is not functioning, thus defaulting to basic 720 and 1080p options. 1080p unfortunately doesnt display correctly (image corruption on right side)
