Graphics Shiftin Resolution

For some odd reason my display keeps shifting resolution At the moment its 1600x1200 but it shifts to 1280x960 sometimes with no warning, sometimes its a completely different resolution to that and i try to get my res back but it doesnt work and i have to adjust my Monitor again to the new setting, and then off we go again the next day its gone back to 1600x1200.

Any Ideas whats wrong?

Re: Graphics Shiftin Resolution

Have you tried re-installing the newest drivers for the Gfx card/ chip?
Are you using any particular software when it happens? Have you checked your devices to see if the monitor is being detected incorrectly when the change is occuring?

Do you have a VIA based motherboard? I had a similar problem, fixed by installing the AGP driver from the VIA 4-in-1 package.

Re: Graphics Shiftin Resolution

I have no Idea if my board is VIA.

When it happens it shows my Monitor as detected and theres no software running except MSN and Skype.

I found the drivers but dont know which to choose to install from...

Re: Graphics Shiftin Resolution

Did you build the PC? If not what is the make and model?
If you did you may want to install something like this
