-   Using Planar PX171M-SI monitor. Worked well until I decided to use monitor with another computer. This other computer had a 19" Sceptre LCD and worked fine. Computer will boot, Windows screen shows, then screen goes black and flashes "out of range." Computer will boot in safe mode, however, with normal monitor operation. Operating system on new computer is XP Professional.-   wstauffer

Most commonly, this problem is caused by an incorrect refresh rate setting. LCD monitors typically DO NOT support refresh rates higher than 60hz - and this is no exception. Try running the game in "safe mode" if it has one. Adjusting the in-game video settings should solve the problem, just look for a screen refresh rate or any video-related setting with a number followed by "hz". Set it to 60, everything should be fine.

It could also be that at some point the game changes resolution (this frequently occurs if there is an in-game movie or cut-scene). In this case the resolution settings for the in-game movie might be at fault, check them if you can.

yes, it is a resolution problem, check if your monitor can support the minimum resolution specified for the game.

Also, you might need to allocate more memory to your video. Some games require a 64/128 MB grafix card too.

When I connect my monitor and turn it on all I get is an "Out of Range" message on a black screen. My other monitor works fine. Please help.

Comment by Cumberland, posted on Sep 05, 2008

My monitor is black and says out of range. I turn the computer off to re-boot and I see the Dell scroll, along with the Windows XP label scroll. Then monitor goes black and flashes this Out of Range. Why? Anything I can do to fix it? Is the problem with the computer or the monitor?

I hooked my monitor which had been working fine on an old desktop to my HP laptop. It worked for a little bit then went black. Seemed to be powered off. I worked with the power cord and got the power back but the message Out of Range appeared on the screen.,

Comment by Kspek, posted on Nov 15, 2007

i had been using this monitor for years and played the same games on it for at least 2-3 years now.

about 2 months ago my screen would go blank and the screen would display Over Range.

i messed with the resolution in and outside of the the game and had not change.

i have 512 MD RAM and a Radeon 9800pro 265MB

any suggestions would help me a lot
