Wrong Boot resolution?

Expand Post »
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?

Re: Wrong Boot resolution?

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.

Re: Wrong Boot resolution?

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.
