It was used by my parents but just 4-6 hours per week, on Windows Vista everything was ok.

I've heard of Windows Update drivers screwing things around. Try uninstalling them.

Humm, that 3650 can handle HD right?

edit, yet it is capable of 1080.

What connection are you using? DVI, HDMI, D-SUB?

Reaching your left retina.
Is windows detecting your monitor properly?

If not maybe you should install drivers manually. Drivers for the monitor I mean, not vga drivers.
