This problem started randomly, I have been using this monitor without a problem for a few years. Viewsonic 2025wm. Last January I formatted my desktop to Vista 64 bit and worked fine for the most part.
a few days ago the monitor wouldnt go on when i turned the desktop on. Than it would during startup screens and it would loose signal when login screen should come up.
I would be able to login if i unplug the DVI cable and plug it back in... than i found that it was a low resolution and that I could not make the display go higher than 1024x768
I have a nvidia 8800GT
My monitor is native 1680x1050, I've been looking on other forums and some people have the same problem... I have not been able to fix this after system restores, re-installing nvidia drivers and trying omega drivers. Safe mode, etc.
Right now I am on 1680res because there are no drivers but the default windows VGA ones. Generic non-pnp monitor on standard VGA graphics adapter.
I need drivers if I ever want to play games again on this computer but 1024 is too low a res to deal with on a widescreen monitor, i think drivers/monitor/gpu are the only things that can be the problem here. I don't know how this started cause I did not change or update anything, it just randomly happened one morning on bootup.
Any ideas?
