I gives me the message that it is out of range. What do I do?

hello


it is because the vga you have and monitor you have is not compatible at the first use, you have to press F7 while booting up. or if did not work you have to use another monitor to change your resolution into 800X600 and plug it again into the monitor which is out of range to be able to work.

How can I fix an "Out of Range" display?

It means that your display card settings are too high for your monitor. Boot your system into safe mode (press F9 as it boots up) and set the display settings lower. Right mouse button click on an empty space on your desktop and go to properties. Then settings->advanced->Monitor and you should be able to adjust the vertical frequency down to 60hz or 72hz. If you get the out of range message on boot up then you will need to try out a different screen on your system, boot into Windows, change the settings and then plug in your original monitor.

ATTENTION OUT OF RANGE 74.7 kHz v:59.8 KHz

This means either your Refresh Rate or the resolution has been set (usually in the display settings of the operating system) beyond the monitors display capability. On a windows OS, go to START == CONTROL PANEL == DISPLAY == SETTINGS (for XP) or R click on the desktop and select SCREEN RESOLUTION for Windows 7 & VIsta. Use the slider to reduce the screen resolution to one that both looks good and fits within your monitors capability.

Out of range message on my monitor.

Boot your computer to safe mode and change the display settings to either 800x600 or 1024x768 then save and reboot once it comes back up you can change the display setting to what you prefer.
To get into safe mode press F8 on you keyboard every second while it is first booting up.

Attention out of range monitor H:95.1KHZ V:59.8HZ

You can solve this by choosing "Last known good configuration that worked" instead of going into safe mode. This will take your old display settings that worked.

Monitor displaying out of range message

Hello and Welcome to FixYa!

This usually happens when you select a resolution or a refresh rate that is beyond the monitor range. For example if your monitor supports a max. resolution of 1024x768 then if you give it a signal of 1600x1200 it will display out of range.

Solution of this problem is to reduce the resolution or refresh rate frequency.

Changing screen resolution in Windows XP: First right-click on the desktop and then left click on Properties from the menu that appears.

The display properties dialogue box will appear as shown in fig 1.1 below, click on the settings tab at the top right of the box.

xp-screen-resolution-1.gif

The areas worth noting are:

Screen Resolution
This slide bar is what you use to change the resolution, the options you have will depend on your graphics card and monitor, but the standard options are 800x600, 1024x768 and 1152x864.

Normally the default (in XP) is set to 800x600 which means the display will be 800 pixels wide and 600 pixels high.

How to Change the Screen Refresh Rate of Your Monitor loadTOCNode(2, 'summary');
  1. Click Start, click Control Panel, click Appearance and Themes, and then click Display.

    Alternatively, right-click the desktop, and then click Properties.
  2. Click the Settings tab, and then click Advanced.
  3. Click the Monitor tab, and then click the screen refresh rate that you want to use.
NOTE:
  • The default refresh rate setting is 60 Hertz (HZ); however, your monitor may support a higher setting. Check your manufacturer's documentation for information about the settings that your monitor supports.
  • If you use a higher refresh rate, you can reduce the rate that your screen flickers; however, if you specify a refresh rate that is too high for your monitor, your screen may become unusable and your hardware may be damaged.
  • Changes to the refresh rate affect all users that log on to the computer.

Showing message out of range

Your monitor settings within windows are set too high for the monitor to display... When computer first boots.. be ready and press the F8 key...
Enter safe mode.. Reset the display properties in control panel to 800 by 600 for a start. Setting the resolution too high past the monitors ability will give you that message.. Most monitors are able to display 1024 by 768 just fine.. Out of range.. means the display settings within windows are out of the monitors range of ability to display the screen resolution you have set... Good luck!!
