Problem #1
When i restart my system, My moniter settings do not stay. The screen will change size, Not the resolution but the actual streched size of the screen.
Is there anyway I can fix this. I have a radeon 700 in my system TEMP. till I get my ti 4400. Is this some problem with the radeon or what (I have the latest drivers).
I have tried changing it by my moniters controls, and by the radeons size changer.

PROBLEM #2 {NEED HELP REALLY BAD WITH THIS}

My hard drive made my comp frezze up last night. NOTHING WOULD OPEN UP FROM MY DESKTOP AND THE TASKBAR WOULDNT COME UP.
I had trillian open so i moved the box around and it but 1 more screen on there everytime I moved it. So I shut the computer down.
When I restarted I got a beep error, saying "Primary Master {Which is my HD} Fail. Please restart".
So i took the hard drive into my parents room and put it in their system, IT WORKED FINE. NOT booting up though but as a second HD.
I took it back to my system and got the same error. So i went into the bios and let it auto detect it. Then restarted and it worked fine. This morning when i got up and turned
The computer on It gave me the same error so into the bios i went. After changing it, it booted up fine.

I just bought this drive yesterday. Its a WD 40 gb 7200 RPM, SHOULD I TAKE IT BACK TO Circuitcity? If i do will they take it back, will they accpet it. Since it works part of the time? What should i do. Is there any program that will let me test the drive throughlly (sp?) lol.

Thanks for your help.

For problem #1, it's the video card that does that, not the monitor. I've seen some people complaining about that same problem and when they changed their vid card the problem was gone. So it's the Radeon (Sorry I have no experience with those and I don't know how to fix it...)

Hope it helps
