Model : PCV-RS720G - Sony Vaio Tower
Here's my problem, i just
recently installed BFG FX5500 into the tower and when i first restart
the computer and plugged the monitor into the new graph.card , it had a
Red Sign on in the middle of the screen that read,
Attention signal Frequency is out of range
H : 44.8 Khz
V : 85.4 hz
Please change signal timing
I
have done the steps by disabling my Intel(R) 82915G/GV/910GL
Express Chipset Family , Display adapter after plugging the chip in and
then restarting computer, to where i have got that "out of range" on
the screen.
The problem with the monitor showing the "signal
timing" would occur after the logo, but to explain the problem even
further, the display would only show on the Intel Display Adapter.. to
the point to where ilogg in. -- before i logg in, i can see my cursor
on the Nvidia Display Adapter -- after i logg in, i get the whole screen
Without Any Icons.Although, i can browse through the computer. No games
or apps are able to run exept window folders and IE . I basically had 2
screens because i would have to periodically switch the cord to the
monitor back and forth with the Display Adapters . That occurs when
either i have both adapters enabled, or just the Nvidia enabled.

Problem Still Exists.
Hi there
Boot up in safe mode, F8 on start up, if it lets you into windows, go to the device manager and uninstall the graphics drivers, then reboot the pc, let the PC detect the new card and try install the drivers, have your driver CD in the CD drive just in case it needs it.
Good luck and thanks for using Fixya!!!

Good advise, and thanks, but it still hasnt solved my problem. Sony Vaio's are very specific when it comes to this. I have to save some money and see if i can take it in .
Any other solutions anyone can think of will be greatly appreciated.
