Hi. Recently the hard drive in my Dell XPS 15 L502X laptop crashed, and rather than shell out the £100 necessary for a new hard drive, I replaced it with the hard drive of my brother's old laptop, a HP Pavilion G6. Now, there were various driver problems with integrating this new drive, but eventually I had everything up and running.
Problem is, I can't make my resolution go higher than 1024x786. Device manager shows that my nVidia card is detected but I can't select it in the screen resolution menu in Windows 7. It just says "Standard VGA Adapter" under display. I think Windows has installed the wrong drivers for the onboard intel chipset or something. What can I do to fix this? The biggest problem of all this is it has stopped my external monitor from connecting to the laptop for some reason.
