Important! In some cases, the installed driver may not match the parameters of the monitor or Windows. Therefore it will need to be replaced.

To find out if the problem is really in the drivers. You need to check the firewood not only for the video card, but also for the monitor itself. Usually, new monitor models already come with a disk with suitable drivers. If you did not install them from it. Then it is best to reinstall the drivers from the original disk. In the case where there was no firewood included. No need to be upset. They can always be downloaded from trusted sites with programs and drivers.

If the picture becomes clear, then the problem is in the connector itself. If nothing has changed. You should check your video card.
