hay so someone on youtube asked me this problem with their graphics card so i thought i would ask it heres the question:

 

I am having a big problem with my graphics at the moment on my PC. I recently built it myself and I have tried several times to install the latest driver for my GTX 550 TI. However, the max resolution stays at 1280 x 1024. And my monitor is 1920 x 1080 and there is a black border around the display since it doesn't cover the entire monitor screen. Any help?

Make sure the mini-HDMI cable (or DVI) is plugged into the GPU, not motherboard. Completely remove any existing NVIDIA drivers. Reinstall the drivers from NVIDIA's website. In NVIDIA Control Panel, check if 1920x1080 is available under resolution.

Make sure he understands to completely remove the drivers. And tell him not to lie about the cables xD lol. People do that sometimes because they're embarassed.
