With the drivers that came and/or you downloaded for your graphics card, there should be a Control Centre sort of thing. nVidia Control panel is for nVidia cards and Catalyst Control is for AMD.

If you open either up, there would be a title named Display or somewhat of that nature. Inside there will be "Change resolution" or "Change desktop resolution." See if it is synced up with your monitor (eg; 1920x1080, 60Hz)

If a screenshot of what it looks like could be uploaded, that'd be great. I'm going off your description of the issue.
