Firstly, I'm not sure if this is the right forum for this since this is a slightly higher than usual technical issue that won't be easily remedied (if at all):

This morning the power co. mistakenly turned my power off, once i phoned them they turned me back on. Upon turning my pc back on, i noticed the POST text was a lower resolution and wasnt being stretched to fit the screen like before, and once windows tried loading to desktop im getting "signal out of range". The monitor is a soyo 24" 1920x1200, VA panel (dylm24d6)

Hooked my pc up to my Plasma and post screen is fine, windows boots fine

After much tinkering, im able to run the monitor at 1280x720 as long as i have gpu scaling enabled in CCC, also if i try to change resolutions in windows, the only options are 1920x1080 and 1280x720, so...a couple things:

1. obvious hardware scaler in the monitor is fried, right?
2. wherever windows pulls possible resolution capabilities from (whether it's pulling from EDID, unlikely, or pulling from something ATI/CCC related due to me using GPU Scaling), is not functioning properly, thus defaulting to basic 720 and 1080p options. 1080p unfortunately doesnt display correctly (image corruption on right side)

Would trying to create a new EDID/Monitor driver be a possibility or is there something else I can do? I found a utility that allows you to create new EDID/Monitor information into a driver but at this point I don't even think Windows/CCC is using the information from my monitors EDID because after viewing the EDID information, it's showing 1920x1200 as the maximum resolution... which points to CCC using it's own sort of "Compatibility Mode" while using GPU scaling, just a guess
