Sounds like a video card problem. Do you have another computer around to hook this monitor to? Or maybe a laptop you could hook it up to? if the problem follows the monitor, then the monitor has a problem, if the problem goes away, then the video card, or the computer itself has a problem. Try this and let me know...

If you're running Windows, go to your Desktop and right-click in the middle of the Desktop. Click on Personalize and adjust your resolution settings. Larger number settings equal smaller icons.

The sound goes out of the computer to a set of speakers. If the monitor has speakers built into it, then the sound comes out of them. Each computer must have a connection to the sound card (the little green hole) to speakers. If you want sound from the second computer, unplug the sound cable from the one computer and plug it into the other one.

Hi there,

I am not sure about the speakers. The best way to tell if it has speakers is if you can physically see them. They are usually located at the bottom of the monitor and they look like little screens on either side of it. If it doesn't have HDMI or a line in jack (speaker plug) that you can see then it won't have built in speakers for sure.

If the monitor has the right connections to plug into your HP computer, which it should. Then it will work with your computer. Your computer has both VGA and DVI monitor connections on it so either of these should work as long as your monitor has the connections (which it should have at least one).

attach speaker on to the green port on the back of the cpu, then play sound, before this also check whether the sound driver is installed or not in device manager

Chances are high that it's your video drivers messing up. Try installing the graphic card drivers from one of the CDs you got with your computer, if you don't have those anymore you can download them from the official site of the graphics card manufacturer.
If you don't know how to find out which graphic card you have, let me know and i'll try to help out.

First check to see if you have the correct graphic card drivers installed.
Then change the resolution. In some monitors, if the resolution is set too low, you get the condition you describe. The system thinks it's sending to a smaller monitor.

This could be several things. Most likely it's a problem with your video card driver. Without knowing the make/model of your video card, I can't suggest where to go to download a new driver, but (if you can still see on the monitor) you can do the following.
First, try running Windows Update to see if there's a driver already. Open Windows Update, then click on the "Custom" button to see all of the available updates. There should be a "Hardware" link on the left once it loads, and if you see a video card update there, download that. If that doesn't work, you can try the following to determine what type of card you have:
Right click on My Computer>Properties
Go to the hardware tab and open Device Manager.
Try to find your video card in there, if it has a yellow triangle with an exclamation point, you'll know there's a problem with it, but it might not have that. When you find it, right click and click on Properties. In one of the tabs you'll be able to find a Device ID. Type that into Google and it should let you know what type of card it is (it might require a little digging). Then visit the manufacturer's website to download a driver.

If updating the driver doesn't work, I would suspect a faulty video card. If you have another computer, try putting the card in there. If it's not a video card and it's coming straight out of the motherboard, you can probably pick up a video card for fairly cheap and run off of that.

I wouldn't think it's a monitor problem, but that could be an issue as well. Try the monitor on other computers/try another monitor on your computer to see if the problem still exists. If you can rule out the monitor, follow the steps above. If the problem still exists on the same monitor with a different computer, you'll probably need a new monitor.

Unfortunately it sounds as though your monitor is slowly dying on you :\ Though i must say its a very strange way to have it go.
