| 1387763 | 2014-11-05 22:39:00 | I have just installed 8.1 again on my Asus M5A78L-M USB3 motherboard. My monitor is Samsung B2430HD SyncMaster. At first, all seemed ok but a day or two later My problem occurred, all images extend in landscape form to show faces like balloons and bodies are squashed down so they look grotesque people. At first I thought it was the graphics card. I replaced it with an Asus GT730 - no difference. I applied the drivers for the monitor - no difference. I tried to change the screen resolution - no difference (also tried another PC on the monitor - all OK). I am at a loss. Do I reinstall 8.1 and hope? |

| 1387764 | 2014-11-05 23:24:00 | Two questions, At the beginning you mentioned "I have just installed 8.1 again " What was the reason to reinstall ? Secondly, what's changed over the last two days, Eg: updates, programs put in / uninstalled etc ? |

| 1387765 | 2014-11-05 23:49:00 | I had a failure on a 1TB HDD. I was unable to restore my backup so I have used another HDD to install 8.1. I have only copied data files to the new HDD and applied only the MS updates from online. | Bryan (147) | ||
| 1387766 | 2014-11-06 00:26:00 | Oaky, Only reason asking why the reinstall was in case it was from a similar occurrence :) Assume you have installed all the drivers either from the ASUS site, or the DVD that came with the Board ? |

| 1387767 | 2014-11-06 00:35:00 | I have installed the DVD drivers and that has made no difference to the problem. It existed before the new GPU and still exists - like Monty Pythons dead parrot. I see that there are a number of similar problems highlighted on Google but I haven't worked through them yet. | Bryan (147) | ||
| 1387768 | 2014-11-06 01:02:00 | Just went back and re-read the post ( only skim read before) all images extend in landscape What about normal desktop picture, or other appications like a word Document, internet pages are they displaying OK ? What program are you using to show images ? |

| 1387769 | 2014-11-06 01:28:00 | Desktop icons are effected. Internet pictures also. Using MS Media Player and also have Centre. Just checked CCleaner and it shows that the PC is still using MS basic graphics even though I dran the driver DVD for the new GPU and rebooted. |

| 1387772 | 2014-11-06 03:17:00 | Device manager does not recognise the new PCIe GPU. I think that there is a problem with the connection between the GPU and the motherboard. It is not just the new GPU but the old one as well. | Bryan (147) | ||
