Hey there,

I have an AMD Trinity A10-5800k APU with AMD Raedon HD 7660D Integrated Graphics on Windows 7 Ultimate 64-bit and I can't seem to get my screen resolution over 1024 x 768. I've tried to change it through windwos and through the display control panel, still won't go higher.

Full Specs:
Processor: AMD A10-5800k 3.8Ghz Quad Core APU w/ AMD Raedon 7660D HD
Motherboard: ASRock FM2A55M-DGS Micro ATX FM2 Motherboard
RAM: G.Skill Ares Series 8GB (2 x 4GB) DDR3-1866 Memory
PSU: Orion 585W
HDD: Western Digital Raptor 74GB 10000RPM 16MB Cache
Optical Drive: LITE-ON DVD Burner - Black SATA Model iHAS124-04
OS: Windows 7 Ultimate 64bit

Any Ideas? Drivers fully updated.
 
Solution
then lower the resolution to a more lower setting and use the one is more useful for you you will have to get a computer monitor ,that all we can do for now

Bios is up to date and you have all the latest drivers including the drivers on the ASRock website ( he linked it above ) ?

Just FYI you should replace that power supply with something less likely to explode. Something between 300 and 400 watts from Corsair, Seasonic, PC Power and Cooling, XFX, Silverstone, Enermax, OCZ or Antec. Antec has a few lower wattage good models. Really closer to 300 watts is fine but it's hard to find any cheap quality units that small.

Also any newer 7200RPM hard drive including storage grade drives like the WD Blue will be quite a bit faster than that old Raptor.

I'm downloading drivers from the website now to see if they fix anything. I know about the power supply I've already ordered an Antec EarthWatts 500W 80 Plus Bronze PSU. I'll just wait a while on the HDD I'm on a budget. Could my monitor limit the resolution size?

You sure? It's only a 720P monitor. That would mean it's natively 1280 × 720. That should be as high as it goes. Do you maybe have the aspect ratio set wrong? Or the refresh rate set to something other than 60Hz?

I believe the aspect ratio is 16:9, though not completely sure. I can't find that in the Control Center. It says its refresh rate is 75Hz. I could run this higher than 1024 x 768 in Windows XP with my ATI Raedon HD 4550 a few days ago before I upgraded.

vertical frequency down to 60 Hz still can't raise the resolution. And yes my connections are O.K. Also, there is no captions settings in preferences so I'm guessing it isn't supported in this type of video input.

Hmmm well I remember making it higher on Windows XP... maybe it "said" it made it higher but downgraded it automatically. Whatever the reason, I just want to make my desktop bigger. Anyway to do that?

I actually spent a great deal of time looking for CCC after i installed drivers and utilities. It seems that these integrated graphics have something else called "AMD VISION Engine Control Center".


but if you set resolution to max tv could support you will have a full screen

Not exactly sure what you mean..
