Is it the monitor or is it the graphics card or something else causing this. [View all]

When I wake the computer from sleep the screen isn't at the 1440X900 any more. I have to restart to get it to work. The setting doesn't show in the monitor preferences.

Sometimes the monitor won't start, and I noticed sometimes it will start but will shut down when I boot the computer.

Sometimes when the computer goes to sleep, the monitor turns off.

1440X900 is the only setting that works.
