Title: Monitor suddenly stuck on low resolution?
Post by: kielmaru on September 06, 2013, 03:07:01 AM

I dont know what the people did on my pc here that it went to a low resolution suddenly. I just left to go to my work and this happened.
Im not sure if this is permanent cause i usually just restart when this *censored* happens.
I think its a graphics card problem.. Im trying to remember if there was a NVIDIA control panel in my context menu in the first place because theres currently no control panel like that now i dont know.

I'd go to nVidia's website and download latest driver for that GPU and apply that. Although it looks like the video card could be crapping out because of the artifacts near the icons.

I currently have a older laptop that has this issue, where it first boots up and has only a few artifacts and then as it heats up more show and flicker on and off etc especially when trying to game with it.
