How do you have the monitor connected to your computer? What monitor do you have?

I have an old LG monitor (flatron w1934S) i changed the resolution to 1280x1024 at 75hzz (the normal set is 1440x900 with 60hz.

And the monitor is connected through a vga adapter to displayport

From what I can tell, the default should be 1440x900 at 75Hz. What cable type are you using?

You set the monitor to run a resolution that it isn't, ofc stuff isn't lining up right. That's not even the same aspect ratio or a clean multiple of the dimensions. Running something like 1080p on a 4K screen or 4K on a 1080p screen can kinda work because 4K is exactly 2x 1080p on width and height. You're telling the PC to output a totally different resolution, scale, and aspect ratio from what your monitor is.

That's the issue. Don't use VGA if you can avoid it. I don't think that monitor has any other inputs, so perhaps a new monitor might be needed. If you can't get a new monitor, try to auto-adjust the monitor. There should be a button or menu option to do that.

That I don't know. 1280x1024 is technically more pixels, but it isn't much.

I adjusted the resolution that fitted the moniter the best. It's own settings made it all weird, or it just be me who got way 2 used to this res...

I have wiped the gpu drivers and re-installed them. Did not work

But not with a program, will try that now!

Do you have a TV or another monitor you can try to see if it does the same thing on that, If you overclock or use software to set a monitor to a higher resolution that it's not supposed to be it can cause issues, especially with older monitors. To me it seems like you messed up the panel by overclocking it and changing the native resolution to something it's not rated for. If setting the resolution and refresh rate back to native doesn't resolve the issue I think you broke your monitor.
