Hey, I got a problem. My graphic card doesn't show up on display. I can only see the Generic non-PnP Monitor on display but I can see my graphic card EVERYWHERE else. For example in device manager, and when I press Advance Settings in display. I do also have all the updated/correct drivers installed.
I can only select 1280x720 as max thought I should can have up to 1680x1050 when my graphic card works.
This happened when I started up my computer today. It was perfect the day before.
My PC is HP(Yes I know it sucks dick, so lets not have that conversation again cause we all agree.)
I use a ATI Radeon x1600
My graphic card does not show up on display

1680x1050 should be doable with the x1600 , dont expect to get more then 30fps

You seem to be confusing your monitor with your graphics card. "Generic non-PnP Monitor" refers to the monitor, and it's basically telling you that the computer doesn't recognize your monitor.
If you haven't changed your monitor, then something has gone wrong with the "PnP" (Plug & Play) aspect, so that the monitor is not properly identifying itself to the OS. A couple of things to try:
-Make sure the monitor cable is fully inserted into the connector on the video card. (Unplug and re-plug even better.)
- Unplug the monitor from the AC power- wait a few seconds, and plug it back in.. The monitors internal settings can get scrambled by power line spikes and unplugging/plugging the AC will perform a "cold" boot and reset things.

I was gonna suggest reinstalling the drivers, but Quaker suggested something that worked that I never even thought about trying lol.
I used a Radeon mobile x1600 at 1680x1050 for 4 long years, by my experience, Maxed out it gets great frames in Proph and Fac but sloops down in Nf and Eotn. It's still a great card though and it gets the job done without a complaint.

You're welcome.
Actually, unplugging the monitor from the AC can cure a whole mess of strange behaviours. I discovered this while trying to find out why the little "DVI input" popup would not disappear.
