Wrong Boot resolution?

Mar 27th, 2006
My PC is using the wrong resolution when booting, i.e. when showing brand logo and windows load screen. At least i think it's the wrong resolution.
Anyway, i think it happened because i switched monitors and the display configurations got messed up. I reinstalled the drivers but that didn't seem to help. The desktop is fine by the way.

I have some bios settings to change but i can't view anything because the display is strteched out of porpotion and it's blurry. Any ideas on how to solve this?

Do you have a flat panel monitor? Is it connected through dvi or through the normal video input?

i have a 17' CRT monitor connected to the normal video output running at 1280x960
i swapped with a 15' CRT (800x600), then it started to get out of focused and the contrast and brightness got messed up
so i changed it back and the symptoms transfered to the 17 (only at the boot screen)

I think that there might be something wrong with the video card.

I'm pretty sure the drivers won't help. The card is displaying the screen incorectly on both monitors so it's not a software issue.
