nINJA- Posted December 23, 2009 Author Share Posted December 23, 2009 Hmm don't think so, you think that could help? Just removed all my graphic drivers and went into safe mode and installed. Stuck at 800x600 after reboot :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stuck at 800x600 after reboot :( It never hurts, but also rules out the possibility that chipset drivers could be the issue. After looking up your mobo, I've learned it also has onboard video from VIA. Have you disabled that, also? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nINJA- Posted December 23, 2009 Author Share Posted December 23, 2009 They Don't even have their own motherboard drivers on their homepage for windows 7.. *siegh* Im not sure if i know how to disable onboard graphics? if you can guide me a bit, i would be thankful :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest xiphi Posted December 23, 2009 Share Posted December 23, 2009 They Don't even have their own motherboard drivers on their homepage for windows 7.. *siegh* Try using the Vista drivers from here: http://www.msi.com/index.php?func=download...amp;prod_no=260 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From there you should see an option to disable your onboard video. After you've disabled it, press F10 to save and exit. That's about as far as I can go since the manual on MSI's site doesn't go into detail about the BIOS options. You should still be able to see your BIOS screen upon reboot if everything is connected properly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joker999 Posted December 23, 2009 Share Posted December 23, 2009 also, are you sure it is 32bit win7? Maybe it is 64bit win7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nINJA- Posted December 23, 2009 Author Share Posted December 23, 2009 how do i turn of onboard? Heres some driver info for the ones who understand it :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shaun N. Posted December 23, 2009 Share Posted December 23, 2009 Interesting how it only shows the 9800 in Display devices after the other shot showing that it wasn't using it. Also to only take a screenshot of the image you need hold alt while pressing the print screen button. we don't need to see the second screen. Alternately you could use the Snipping Tool, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest xiphi Posted December 23, 2009 Share Posted December 23, 2009 how do i turn of onboard?Heres some driver info for the ones who understand it :) Looks like it's already disabled from that screenshot. Have you tried changing the resolution through the nVidia Control Panel? If that doesn't work, then maybe someone could recommend a third party tool to force the resolution.

nINJA- Posted December 23, 2009 Author Share Posted December 23, 2009 haha oh, sorry about the other screen thing, didn't notice from now :) heres a picture of the bios, didnt figure out what was the onboard graphics. if someone has a clue, please comment :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If that doesn't work, then maybe someone could recommend a third party tool to force the resolution. From his previous shot the resolution slider was greyed out, Is it still the same nINJA? It would be in the VIA OnChip PCI Device section Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've tried using the nvidia controlpanel, still no luck. it also has a "add a custom resolution". but just gives me information about the resolution not accepted. :/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest xiphi Posted December 23, 2009 Share Posted December 23, 2009 Do you have two VA1912w monitors or is the other one a different brand/model? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shaun N. Posted December 23, 2009 Share Posted December 23, 2009 Right click on your desktop then click "Screen Resolution" - Then click on "Advanced settings" - At the bottom left of this box you should have a button which says "List All Modes" go in there try some, if they dont work take a screenshot and post it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cork1958 Posted December 23, 2009 Share Posted December 23, 2009 Yeah but i dont want to reinstall windows totally, there has to be a better way solving the issue than re formating.I'm sure its something with the drivers that screws up the whole thing. Since my friend had ati and it worked fine (damn you nvidia) (damn you nvidia) Have to agree with that statement. Personally, I think nvidia and their drivers suck the big one!!

nINJA- Posted December 23, 2009 Author Share Posted December 23, 2009 one Viewsonic VA1912w and a random Philips monitor for watching movies ^^ Do you have two VA1912w monitors or is the other one a different brand/model?

Guest xiphi Posted December 23, 2009 Share Posted December 23, 2009 one Viewsonic VA1912w and a random Philips monitor for watching movies ^^ Have you tried using only one monitor to see if it still happens? For example, unplug the Philips monitor, then try to change the resolution, then plug it back in and unplug the Viewsonic monitor and try to change the resolution.

I've tried that aswell. still no luck. Tried the bios, but couldnt find the onboard graphics there either. Maybe its a bug yet to be solved. Really like windows 7 so it sux to not be able to watch anything in real resolution. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
