Why is my video card doing this?

My refurbished 9700 pro from newegg has a bit of an issue- whenever I exit windows (shutdown, restart, etc.) when it comes up the next time, the display is at the default 800x600/60hz. I'm sick of changing it. What's going on?

    Sounds like a driver issue for sure. Have you completely uninstalled your Catalyst drivers and installed the latest 3.6's?

    Yeah, sounds like a conflict to me. Wash your system clean of any related display drivers, manually uninstall GPU devices in device manager, also go through your MSCONFIG list and remove any ATI driver entries there, then and only then install the latest drivers again. I suggest you use Registry Cleaners aswell (you can get one from the download thread) to aid you in your efforts.
