Hi
well to cut a long story short, about 4 weeks ago i bought a 1 gig stick of ram for my computer. everything was fine, turn off machine put ram in and turn on machine. When i got into windows i found out that i could not change resolutions, am stuck on 1280x800 on a dell 3007wfp.
now at first i though it was the gfx card, so i bought a new one, nope same problem. then i thought i could be the ram, so i tried my old ram but still same problem and so i replaced the motherboard but still the same problem.
i even changed power supply. I restarted windows a 1000 times but still same problem. I phoned dell but they tell me that if the monitor is displaying then there is nothing wrong with it, then told me that i need to try a new machine but still no use, i tried even a new cable but no use.
so anyone have any suggestions as to what is wrong? the system is out of guarantee and i don't want to pay for it to be fixed, i would rather buy a new one and sell this one as is. My damn luck
the monitor works just fine but i cannot change resolution, i think that the electronics have gone bonkers.
thanks for reading
