My F series (win 7 64 bit home premium) with nvidia 330M graphics chip allows me to set up a custom resolution of 2560 * 1440 @ 60hz which displays perfectly on my external Dell u2711 monitor using the hdmi port. All is well until I shut down and restart when neither the external or laptop display comes up and the machine will Bsod or continually reboots, until I pull out the hdmi lead.
If I change resolution down to 1920 * 1080 on the external display before shutting down, the laptop will restart and perform normally with the external monitor coming up fine.
Any ideas why this happens? As it evidently will display 2560 * 1440 on the external screen, whats the problem when shutting down and re-booting?
I'm running the latest nvidia drivers, any help / pointers appreciated.
My F series is running 2560 x 1440 through hdmi
