Reformatted, monitor refuses to go beyond 1600x1200 resolution.

I do not know if I am allowed to post this here, but I need your help.

Hi! I recently formatted about 20 times ( no joke ) and a few weeks have passed since I formatted. That was a completely different issue. Anyway, before I reformatted, I had a 42'' TV connected with a HDMI Cable to the graphics card, and a VGA cable connected to my monitor ( 24'' monitor ) and both were running at 1920x1080 resolution. But after I reformatted, by main monitor will not go past 1600x1200, and my TV won't go past 1240x768, this really bothers me, because I want 1920x1080 for games, and 1920x1080 for when I am watching films on my TV from my computer.

I bought a new graphics card after I reformatted by computer, and downloaded the new drivers that followed. I am running an ATi XFX 5770 1gb GDDR5 Memory, from ATi Radeon 4850. I have tried Powerstrip to force 1920x1080 resolution, but it is not working. There is no way to set the resolution to 1920x1080 in normal resolution settings, or ATi Catalyst Control Centre. I have tried switching between HD, and regular on the resolution settings, but it's not working.

General info:

Windows 7 Ultimate 64 OS
Intel Core 2 Duo Q9650
P5Q Pro Motherboard
ATi XFX 5770 GPU
Chieftec Super 1000w PSU

Thank you for reading my post, and I sincerely hope that you have the answer that can resolve my problem, and help me resume my normal life.

just a simple question but have you installed your cards drivers?

I`m starting to think that it is your OS since its 64bit or your monitor that your trying to set the resolution

Try an older version of your drivers, the newest ones might have issues, like they always do =.=.

Are you sure that's it?

Yeah, I would try different versions of the drivers. Like he said, sometimes new drivers introduce different problems.

I still have this problem, but I am buying a new computer in August, so I think I will fix it then.
