1920x1080 Full HD Monitor Only Shows in 1024x768

I recently built my PC hooked it up with a "Full HD Monitor" and noticed when it started in windows it was in 1024 x 768 mode. What is weird is that I'm 100% sure that it is HD ready because when it starts up it displays a note that says it is in 1024 x 768 and to change it to 1920 x 1080. Is it the HDMI cord? I didn't use the HDMI cord that came with the monitor and used a random one. Could that be why?

You just need to change the resolution in display settings to 1920x1080.

Right click on the desk top and select display settings. Find the resolution and scroll to 1080p.

Have you installed graphics card drivers?
If not - available resolution options will be limited.
