You'll either have to force the resolution through the video card drivers or with a utility like RivaTuner. I have had this problem on other systems before, but I fixed it by forcing a custom resolution in the video card drivers and that fixed the problem. The other steps I gave are just to make sure it's not a corrupted video card driver issue.

Is your VGA cable fully secured? And can you mess with the settings on the monitor?

Driver / OS corruption issue. If you have a spare hard drive, or can pick one up, install to it first to see if a reinstall will even do the trick for you. This sounds too fishy to be a simple OS/Driver problem though, based on my experience.
