Weird Screen Stretching Graphical Glitch!

[MrGuizz]

Hi guys, I have been experiencing a very odd graphical problem in a number of video games I own. The image seems to be stretched mostly off to the left side and becomes letterboxed at the top of the screen. The games I have encountered this in are Dark Souls, Just Cause 2, Braid, and Psychonauts. All games except for Braid are displayed at my monitors native resolution and none have any other graphical issues. Many other games I own work perfectly fine and it seems to affect games completely randomly. All of the above games are displayed correctly in windowed mode but I would prefer to play fullscreen. And strangely it is able to be fixed in Just Cause 2 by changing the resolution and will stay fixed even if I change the resolution back to it's native res until I either quit the game of Alt-Tab, it then goes back to being distorted. I have tried many different setting in the NVIDIA Control Panel and have tried to force the aspect ratio using all the available settings. I then tried to use the setting on my Monitors BIOS-like menu and still couldn't fix the problem (Dark Souls became pillarboxed when I changed the monitor settings but the stretching was still present). I took screenshots of the problem but they turned out to have no weird stretching at all so the pictures I have provided are faked in order to give you a sense of what I see when I play the games. I have fully up to date drivers and no one else seems to be having the same problem so if someone could help me find a solution I would be extremely grateful as I have been stuck on this problem for quite sometime!

My system specs:

Windows 7

NVIDIA Geforce GTX 560 1GB

Intel Core i3 2120 @3;3GHz

Acer X203H Monitor @1600*900 VGA input

Asus MB P8Z77-V LX S1155

Kingston HyperX Blu 4GB


Here are screenshots of Just Cause 2 and Braid highlighting the issue:

You can ask a mod to do this for you, but I agree with denis280, you will probably find more ideas over there.
