Exactly what your monitor (with overrange protection) says. The frequency of 
the video your videocard produces exceeds the frequency your display can 
handle. Check your modelines. Also some monitors don't support the 
frequencies they report themselves. (They do support them, but the protection 
kicks in before reaching them)
