    I'm having a problem with Monitor display, it's a problem with my display settings, the display settings i can only get are 1024x768 or 800x600 - i have tried to adjust this from the display settings panel but it only has these two available settings. i knocked off my PC and rebooted and then my monitor said it was reciving no signal and was blank. i unplugged the lead from the screen to the PC and the monitor and the screen came back on but with only these two settings available.
    I've tried the display drivers update and to force the settings on Nvidia control panel but no luck. I've a GeForce 8800 ultra graphics card.
    I've had this problem before and the system adjusted itself after a few start-ups, anyone ever seen this problem before or where i might get an answer on how to fix this problem. BTW it always happens after a game crash back to desktop

    Why are you getting game crashes?

    Have you tried to uninstall/reinstall the card in device manager.

    Have you got the card OC'ed?
