Alright i have been messing with this stuff all morning. Here's how it all started. I was playing bf2, and all the sudden the screen turned red and started flashing, as if something was wrong with the Graphics card. (I am running dual 8800 GT). So, after talking to a couple people, they told me to re-install the nvidia drivers. So i did that, then obviously my resolution and whatnot was reset to "default". So i go into control panel and go to resolution and the highest option it gives me is 1024 by 768 and that looks like shit. I was running like 1600 by 1024 or something b4(not sure). I have a 22" Chimei. So i need help with getting my resolution higher. It seems like everything went wrong when i re-installed video drivers. So i did a system restore to about the previous hour and that didn't work. Any suggestions? I am running 64 bit vista. And i tried going to advanced settings and list all modes for resolution and it was only low ones. Heres a screenshot of what my resolution option is.
Hope this wasn't too confusing of a thread. By the way, when ur loking at the screen all i click is the highest and the lowest, cant click anywhere in between. And i have re-installed vid drivers 2 or 3 times in the past 4 hours and done everything i can think of. Help
*EDIT* should i try finding the disk for my monitor and installing that? (would that let me change resolution more)
2nd *EDIT* now i just found something worse out. I start up bf2 and it shuts down. It's acting as if i don't have a good enough vid card to run it. It just goes black and then shuts down. It has to have something to do with this monitor though*
