I'll keep it short. I have an Acer 23" monitor with natvie res of 1920x1080. I set it to this in the windows menu (right click, screen resolution, etc.) and through the Intel control panel. I set both to 1920x1080 and teverything works fine.

But the problem is, every time I shut down and reboot, it reverts to 1024x768! As the windows logo is doing its thing, its in 1080. And it sits at the login screen for a few seconds at 1920x1080. But sure enough, after a few seconds, the screen will flicker, go dark, and come back as 1024x768.

I can change it every time I boot, but this is getting ridiculous. Any ideas?

Maybe this belongs in the Intel Graphics section.....

Do not force the refresh rate above it's specification. That's the only reason could think of.

Suggestions:-

1. Install the latest Intel Graphics Driver

http://www.intel.com/p/en_US/support/detect/graphics

(I think it is Version: 8.15.10.2559)

2. Install the latest .inf file or monitor driver for your Acer monitor. You will have to check Acer website for your particular model.

Thanks for your responses guys, but the problem still exists....

I tried turning off the monitor and then booting windows to see if it was recognizing my monitor wrong. No diice. As soon as I turned on the monitor it was ALREADY at 1024 x 768.....

Any other ideas? Intel and Windows and Acer say my drivers are all current...

DVI or Vga? Must be a cable. If that has anything to do with it. If not it has to be something with the onboard.

Set it at 1024x768 or whatever Windows default it to. Restart the PC cycle for couple of times then set it to its native resolution and see how it goes.

 

[coachmark2]

Okay. WIll do. Thanks for the idea.

 

[coachmark2]

Alright, I let Windows cycle up and down four times at 1024x768. Then reset to 1920x1080. No dice. Still reverts on login....

Anybody else got any ideas?

I still don't get it, if you are trying to boot with both monitors in extended or duplicate mode. Try to boot with the said monitor only, maybe you are at the limit of the onboard with two monitors, not sure.

Try this; Press Windows Button + P then select "Projector Only".



Check the Intel Datasheet as it can support 2 displays upto what resolutions for VGA, HDMI, DVI..

No no no...I'm only driving a single 23" 1920x1080 monitor. There IS no second monitor connected to the computer.
