My problem :
It all started from when I unplugged my HP w2338h monitor from my main PC (res. 1920x1080, specs listed below) into a raspberry pi 3. After using the monitor for the Raspberry PI 3, I plugged it back into my main PC again, and to my surprise the resolution was on 1024x724.
When I go into the advanced display settings, the only resolution options are 1024x724 & 800x600
What I tried to fix this (but didn't work):
I greatly appreciate it!!

What I tried to fix this (but didn't work):
- Tried restarting
- Reinstalling video drivers
- Factory reset on monitor
- Creating a custom resolution using the NVIDIA control panel
- Kinda works but its blurry, so not quite. (also I shouldn't have to do this).
- updating monitor drivers (it says everything is already up to date)
- HP My Display tool (found under the software section under HP support for my monitor)
- Says it ran into an error and fails to run.
- replacing the HDMI cable
- uninstalling the monitor drivers manually.
- I did not do this because in order to reinstall the monitor drivers I need the CD that came with the monitor, which I no longer have.
- Playing around with the BIOS (HP PC Hardware Diagnostics UEFI).
- I "tried" doing this, but It appears the bios display is corrupted? There's a bunch of graphics misplaced and random letters displayed across the screen.
- Maybe I need to flash the bios or update it? I've never done this before and am afraid I might cause more damage.
- Bios display appears to be corrupted (pic included)
- when booting: a black screen with codes A2 c9 appear. (this doesn't last longer. approx. 3secs)
- The MSI krait snake graphic when booting is visibly zoomed in on and cutoff. (probably b/c its 1024x724). (pic included)
- The SDD has both Winows 10 and Linux Mint and is configured for duo boot. (defaults to windows 10 unless specified otherwise.)
I greatly appreciate it!!
