English isn't my native language, so i'll try this cause i have been googling for over 5 hours, and still can't find anything even remotely related to my problem.
Okay, i'll give you the story first.
My pc setup i bought and build myself worked like a charm for 3 years without problems!
but yesterday evening something went wrong, and now i have no idea how to fix it.
I use a Palit GTS 250 1GB E-Green (VGA+DVI output) (Nvidia)
I have 2 CHIMEI CMV223D 22' running 1680x1050 native resolution
primary screen DVI (right in front of me), secondary screen VGA (little to my right)
extended desktop
The thing is: somehow after i used a fullscreen mode of media player classic, and i closed the fullscreen mode my primary screen resolution changed.
What i found in Nvidia was very strange to me.
Both my monitors used to be recognized by nvidia as well as windows screenconfig.
but now my primary screen is called: Digital screen
instead of: Chi Mei Optoelectronics corp. CMC 22 W
Secondary screen still is recognized as it should be.
Primary screen res options is now only 1024x768(native) or 800x600
This can't be right?
So the VGA is still working as it should be and the DVI is flipping on me.
I have absolutely no idea what went wrong and wat happened so this is what i did first
I updated the driver. nothing
I reinstalled driver. nothing (i know, i did a clean install)
switch cables, only switches problem.
opened case, cleaned what needed cleaning (use homemade filter, which work great btw). nothing
replugged graphcard. nothing
I'm stumped, and it's bugging me.
Can someone please give me some advice?
I thank you from my soul.
