That message is generated by your monitor when it gets a signal out of its supported range. It may be that the card cannot produce a signal within the pass band of your monitor, even though it theoretically can. At the top end of the frequencies there are large gaps between possible frequencies. Suspect this especially if you have an old card and an LCD monitor (they seem to have a tighter spec.) You can use the keypad + and - keys in combination with Ctrl-Alt to change resolution, so hitting Ctrl-Alt-keypad(-) may get you a lower resolution that your monitor can display. -- Richard Urwin
