old PC, new monitor display problems

Just bought a new monitor for my old Presario SR1500NX, but I can't adjust the screen resolution of 1600 x 900, who wants my monitor - it has a maximum setting of 1024 x 768. (Monitor = from HP2009m, widescreen) The graphics in my PC is "VIA / S3G UniChrome IGP. When I go to the tab view S3 it shows "Display devices" like an old CRT monitor, which I did not. I was using an older 17 '' LCD monitor 4:3 in the last 3 years, & it worked out of this video card, but my new widescreen monitor display is "stretched veeerrryyyy." I think I need a new "video card", correct? If so, can you recommend one if I can buy and install it (I printed installation instructions of a new video from the HP Web site card for my PC). I'm kind of smart with the software, but not the hardware side of computers. I installed more RAM on my PC, so I'm not familiar with the inside. (And no, I can't afford a new computer right now - I know that mine is old, but it works perfectly for my needs, I wanted just a new, larger monitor!) Thanks for any help you can give me.

AG, here is a video card that should work with your power supply and a new monitor.  It is not a barn burner, but a lot more than the maximum resolution that is required to run it.  It is said that the minimum power is 300W.  However, manufacturers tend to overstate the power requirements of their cards.  Read the customer reviews and specifications on the product Page.  This will give you some good information.

The card should improve the performance of your computer, too.  It will free the system memory that is shared with the video chip and add video memory on the card itself.  You could improve the memory to 2 GB to increase performance even more.

  • Document windows does not use all the available on new monitor display area

    Hello

    I have a new monitor - a Benq BL2711.

    I have set up as my secondary monitor on display in Windows 8.

    I can put Photoshop (CS6) on this screen and maximize the it, but there is a vast space not used in the document window, which is not used. I want to show a lot more of my images that I can currently, but the document window will not only fill all that screen real estate. A large part of it is lost.

    The panels occupy the right space to the bottom of the screen, but the window of the document (or the display area?) uses only 60% of the height of the screen.

    What is a limitation or do I have to configure something? (I have reset the workspace of photography).

    Thanks for any help

    Nick

    It is really a shot in the water, but it's the space used by the "timeline" Panel when it is open. Try to check in the menu window and close the bottle.

    Other that that, there are always some good old Reset preferences. Make sure you save the custom actions/brushes/presets and so forth first!

  • New monitor displays an Error Message "Signal out of range" when computer starts

    Installed new ASUS VS24H-P control on my computer and I get this image of "out of range" bouncing around the corners of the screen.

    This means that the computer sends a signal that the monitor is not capable of displaying.  It could be:

    • A screen resolution (width x height pixel size) is selected, the monitor cannot display
    • The refresh rate (Hz) is the one who can not display the monitor
    • These two

    If you have another monitor, you can plug it to visit your office. Right-click and choose the resolution of the screen, then turn it down to a 'safe' resolution like 1024 x 768 (most monitors can display this).  Then plug your new monitor back and turn the resolution back to a better suited for this monitor.

    Are you using the latest driver?
    In my opinion you should not update BIOS.

  • monitor display problem - says he will sleep when it is turned on.

    Problem: the original title screen

    Turning on my computer - screen trying to start up then he said monitoring sleep - he brought once but the screen was skewed.  my monitor is fine - I have it plugged into another computer and it works fine.  would it be a virus or a video card?  should I try to hit the f8 key during startup to go to safe mode or just take it to the computer store?

    Hello

    · What is the number and model of the monitor?

    · Do you remember all the recent changes on the computer before the show?

    · What is the service pack installed on the computer?

    · Have you defined a plan of the power on the computer?

    Check the status of the graphics device in Device Manager. Follow the steps for the same thing:

    a. click on start

    b. click Run, in the Run dialog box type devmgmt.msc

    c. in the Device Manager window, locate the video drive and expand the drive, double-click the sub element to check if an error message or error code is listed.

  • Problems connecting to a projector. Laptop recognizes the new monitor but projector does not display anything.

    I have a Macbook Pro (non-retina display) mid-2012. I have a mini VGA screen that worked throughout the year and all of a sudden, it doesn't seem to work. My computer recognizes the new monitor (screen flickers and flies all content secondary screen) but the projector does not display anything. I tried to reconnect the cable, the cable VGA switch to turn on the projector and turn off, restart my computer and clouds of dust on the connections. Sometimes if I move the connection just that will work, but if I so much as breathe on it or watch funny it stops and I can't get it back.

    Jiggle the cable or adapter is something different, you have a physical adapter or cable problem. Any bit-reversal can help that.

  • New monitor will display not all resolutions

    Recently bought a new HP monitor # 2210 m, and am running HP Media center m7334n Desktop, Windows XP sp3, ram 2 GB, 2.0 G cpu.

    Problem: that's like half of the resolutions listed in the monitor sheet (there are 11 presets).
    I want to put it in 1280 x 768, but it is not listed as a choice in the display properties.

    I lost several hours with HP technical support (Overseas), and their final decision was that the computer is too old (5 years) to support the new monitor. After I hung up, I realized that the monitor has been able to run on its native resolution of 1920 X 1080. So, how is it not possible to run at a lower resolution?

    Graphics are integrated on the motherboard, so I can't find care about resolution so that it doesn't matter where.
    I've updated the graphics driver and the driver for the monitor.
    I uninstalled the driver for the monitor, computer rebooted, everything is recognized, without yellow exclamation, but still no option for the setting of 1280 X 768.

    How can I get the monitor to display the resolution that it is capable of?

    Thanks for your help

    o.k.

    all tracks have been explored and exhausted.

    the integrated graphics card & monitor drivers have been updated.

    the desired resolution does not always appear in the display properties or the available ATI ads.

    I go to the idea that this particular resolution (1280 x 720) only is simply not supported by the graphics card.

    Thank you for your time & assistance

    You have no problem with your old monitor?
    Did you use another resolution (bottom) with the old?
    You can try to fix this old resolution for your new monitor, too.

  • I have an old Mac Mini with a DVI Port that came with a VGA DVI-adapter.  Tonight, my monitor went down.  Brand new monitor works with that?  Can I use an adapter?  If yes should which adapter I?

    I have an old Mac Mini with a DVI Port that came with a VGA DVI-adapter.  Tonight, my monitor went down.  Brand new monitor works with that? Any recommendations? Can I use an adapter?  If yes should which adapter I?

    You can use any DVI monitor DVI port directly or have any VGA monitor with the power that you adapter. A HDMI monitor might work with an adapter DVI to HDMI in a pinch, but HDMI tends to be more fickle.

    Dear friends,

    My display problem has been resolved.                                                                                                                                                                         An HP service technician visited my house [on-site warranty] and inspected my computer hp laptop and found that a video cable from the lcd screen was not correctly set. This is why there is no display on the screen of my computer hp laptop.

    I asked him why he came... It is due to either by transportation [services of e-mail... etc.] or manufacturing unit.

    In any case, my problem has been resolved.

    Thanks for the HP amicable services team
