I can't check on possible solutions. I know that some folk don't know their PC so when that happens you often find them getting on site support.

install the driver for this card? In any case, the idea is to find a resolution and refresh rate that will work with this monitor.

Sorry no. My advice is to start a new post with your PC details, OS and what you need this card to do.
