Cant get the native resolution

[DonkeyChainsaw]

Hi everyone,

 

So I have a new scrapbuild that I build for fun. And I connected it to a LG Flatron W1934S 1440x900 screen using a dvi to vga adapter. Strangely enough I cant get the native resolution on it. The only options I get near 1440x900 are 1366x768 or 1600x900. I have updated and reinstalled the drivers but it doesnt work. So I tried something else and then it starts to get really weird. I went to the Nvidia Control Panel and set a custom resolution. When I test 1440x900 it fills the whole screen but still not great. I can barely read what is written on the screen. But when I change the timing in the settings of the custom resolution from automatic to GTF, DMT or CVT and press 'test' the resolution is exactly right. But when I press ´´save these changes´´ the screen goes black for a second and then it goes back to the shitty resolution and my display gives a message saying± for optimal image quality, set the resolution to 1440x900.

 

Does somebody know how to fix this? I also played around with te refresh rate, but that only makes it worse.

 

Thanks in advance

just disconnect the 15 pin vga cable from both monitor and pc and reconnect. do it while the pc is on and while windows is on.
