One situation that could cause this to occur is if your internal battery is 
beginning to fail. Many computers will reset to a default preference for 
monitor resolution when the battery fails.

Another occurrence could be a software reset from a game program. Some games 
will reset the resolution in order to operate properly (for the game) and the 
monitor resolution must be reset after you quit the game.

Hope this helps to explain part of the mystery.
