[Fear]

What resolution is your max and also what is the maximum your monitor supports ? it might help to post your full spec aswell.

 

[ClaytonJoness]

the max my computer goes is 1920x1080 and the max my monitor will go is 1920x1080, but it still doesnt fit the screen?

 

[Fear]

have you updated your drivers for your graphics card if you have 1 ?

 

[ClaytonJoness]

[Fear]

Can you post your spec people will be able to help more knowing what components you have and also how does it not fit the screen is it too large or not filling the screen ?

Right next one to try have you updated the drivers for the monitor

 

[ClaytonJoness]

just checked it and it already has the latest update.

 

[Fear]

You may need to uninstall the drivers and reinstall them but before you do that did this happen after installing updating something ?

 

[ClaytonJoness]

it has been like it since ive had the monitor and i havent updated any drivers so i dont know

 

[ClaytonJoness]

its been like it since ive had the monitor and ive never had to update any drivers

 

[Fear]

If you havn't already go to control panel and adjust screen resolution then select the advanced option and another window will pop up click the troubleshoot tab and run that.

 

[ClaytonJoness]

it wont let me click on change settings in the trouble shoot tab?

 

[Fear]

Do you have a control panel for your integrated graphics if so you need to try to change the scaling setttings in there, if not try an uninstall/reinstall the drivers for the monitor and graphics.

 

[Fear]

Can a mod please move this to the desktop section in technical help.

 

[ClaytonJoness]

i don't have a control panel for the graphics card, and ive tried uninstalling and reinstalling the drivers but still no luck.

 

[Tom DWC]

There isn't a dedicated graphics card in the machine if it's using the intergrated graphics accelerator.

The problem you describe sounds like a scaling issue to me. How are you connecting the monitor to the PC?

 

[ClaytonJoness]

im using HDMI

 

[Tom DWC]

The simplest solution would be to connect using an alternate cable.

If you have DVI I would go right ahead and use that (the quality is exactly the same) though if your only other option is VGA it's worth getting this sorted.

Problems with overscan when connecting a PC via HDMI are very common. Normally you can correct this via the graphics card control panel. In the case of integrated graphics chips I'm really not sure how to go about doing this.
