Hello,
I have this problem with my 2 day old screen.
Yesterday when i bought the screen i could play Battlefield perfectly on 2560x1440p and 144hertz.
But today when i play on 144 hertz, the screen goes black when i start Battlefield and the message Out of Range appears.
When i play on 59 hertz there is no problem and i can play again.
But i want to play on 144 hertz on my 144 hertz monitor.
Can anyone help me please?

Greetings, Dexter.

Known issue. The monitor sometimes switches itself to 60Hz but the video card stays at 144Hz and thus you get an out of range. Most common when alt-tabbing to the desktop but it will also happen randomly.

The NVidia 334.11 drivers released 9/19/14 solved this problem. Been heavily gaming since installing them and the issue has disappeared.

It's working again... for now :s

I had the problem with 2 out of 2 games.
Battlefield 4 and Dynasty Warriors 8.
They didn't work before but now their is no problem anymore for both games.
I think this is a come and go issue and maybe has to be fixed with a driver update.
