Exclamation 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?

Re: Graphics Shiftin Resolution

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
