Samsung Curved Monitor Distorted Display

This new 24 inch curved monitor works just fine when I checked it by connecting with my laptop, but whenever I connect it to my old custom built PC, the screen dims randomly, goes dark and flickers between dimness & brightness and shows moving horizontal black lines and sometimes the screen blackens completely for a long time with like 5% brightness barely to shut my PC down.
With my laptop, I witnessed full optimal brightness but not seeing it with my custom built PC now (I saw it lit up bright in the first couple of days though).
It worked perfectly well for the first couple of days but after that this problem started.
Also when I connect it with HDMI cable to the HDMI port in my graphics card, it doesn't detects it but the system starts. Should I try HDMI 2.0? Will it be a sure shot option or is it some hardware fault in my system?
Thirdly, the resolution of my monitor is 1920x1080 but my Windows 7 shows the maximum resolution as 1600x1200. How can I get maximum resolution here?
Quality-wise some HD content looks a little grainy.
To sum up, my monitor has the following issues :
Random dimming of screen and brightness issue
HDMI
Maximum Resolution
I tried cleaning the dust and also unplugged & plugged some connections in my system but no luck.
Please tell me what's causing these problems and help me solve them ASAP.
Thanks, I'd really appreciate your help in this matter.

Suggestions:
- Check the Resolution and the Refresh Rate to
ensure it matches the native resolution of the TV - Update the TV firmware to the latest version, which is reported to work
by some sources - Check for a display driver update on the manufacturer's website for the computer
Otherwise, there were some claims to workarounds:
- Set the TV to an input with no video source prior to shutdown
- Hold the power button down on the Samsung remote until the TV turns off
and back on again

There have been very many reports about this problem with this TV. I have summarized what users did say that solved this same problem. Did you try any of them?

harrymc I am not asking about TV, I'm asking solutions for my samsung curved monitor if you can read thoroughly, and no I didn't find anything related to that here.

TV and monitor are synonyms here. You shouldn't dismiss this without checking the ones that apply to your device. But if you demand, I'll delete this answer.

Ok, I don't think it's the firmware of my monitor cause it works well on laptop as a 2nd screen, neither the remote cause I haven't got any! The mentioned resolution I can't find, but it's still the most optimal one for now, refresh rate sits at 60. I updated the driver but it's still a little dim now, with no constant flickers though.
