What causes "Out of Range"

[Guest]

Archived from groups: alt.comp.periphs.videocards.ati (More info?)

Booted up my PC and as soon as I enter my password for xp to complete the
boot sequence it gives me the out of range message and shuts down in 15
seconds. 64MB VIVO card. Updated to the newest cat when it was released and
it has been flawless until this afternoon. Any suggestions?

I'm only running at 70 for the refresh rate. This has always worked, why
would it stop now?

It could also be that the resolution is set too high for that monitor.

Basically 'Out of Range' means that your graphics card is outputting
something the monitor cannot display.

Restart windows and press F8 after the BIOS POST and before you get the
'Loading Windows' screen. This should give you a menu which you can
select 'Safe Mode' from which will boot your PC with known safe settings
and minimal drivers.

Providing this loads OK go into your video settings and set it to
something easy to display - 800x600 @ 60Hz refresh should do the trick.
Restart the system and it should boot back into Windows just fine and
you can up the resolution and refresh to your desired settings.

Just remember that if you select a setting which the monitor cannot
display Windows will automatically revert back the to previous settings
if you haven't clicked the OK box in 15 seconds.

Perhaps you have:

1. Overclocked the life out of the graphics card;
2. Fubarred your monitor;
3. Changed AA settings that have thrown your card out of sync;
4. Have a glitch in your operating system; or
5. Your god doesn't like you.

Perhaps 5 is a factor but the rest arent. Its the card in my sons system,
never overclocked, never altered. Monitor is fine as it is now running with
my old VooDoo3 without a hitch.
