BenQ XL2420T won't run 60hz

I've had the monitor for a year and it has been working fine, but just now while I was browsing the web it randomly stopped working. I've tried updating my GTX 650 TI to the latest driver date, restoring system to a later date to restore possible faulty settings + a few other things, and all has failed.

It says the on the little side-bar built in menu

"Incorrect cable. Please use the DVI dual-link cable that came with your monitor."

Which is weird because I haven't touched the cable since a year ago when I bought it and set it up for 120hz.

Also if I try running on 120hz, this is tough to explain but I can barely read anything the monitor displays. And on 60hz it looks fine when just browsing the web but when I open tf2, it is playable but things still look gimmicky as if I was on a really low res or something. (Which I'm not.)

I feel like the monitor may be breaking, but there is no real reason it should be. Help?

EDIT: I meant to write it won't run 120HZ NOT "won't run 60hz" SORRY.

This happened to me last night, my dual-link dvi cable got unplugged a little, I'd check everything.
