Default Monitor resolution won\'t change.

New cpu came on Fri.

Only attached my samsung 204B.

I can't get the resolution to 1600x1200.

Tried changing it via control panel, change it to the setting, the monitor blinks a few times, then comes back on and is the same resolution as before 1024x768.

Unsure what the problem is, but am wondering if anyone can push me in the right direction as far as troubleshooting goes/fixing the problem.

Go get the newest drivers from nvidia. If that doesn't work, uninstall all of your video drivers and let your computer discover your video card with "add new hardware". Then reinstall the drivers.

You should also install the monitor drivers that came with the 204b.
