Assuming that my google fu is strong enough to find these utilities you mentioned but did not link to, how exactly would I use them?
I should mention that I've used this same computer in the past with Windows 8/8.1 with the same monitor and it detected the native resolution just fine. It wasn't until I did a format/reinstall that it stopped seeing it. I have no idea why.

If it used to work and doesn't now, it's probably not an EDID problem in the monitor. Wouldn't hurt to be sure though.
One other thought -- sometimes monitors come with software to override the hardware supplied EDID information. When the monitor was previously working had you installed software from the monitor vendor?
