monitor cannot display

loneknight · 04-28-2008, 09:25 PM

I needed to work on another pc, so i switched it. However, when i started the computer, i could only see the BIOS loading. After that, it was a black screen with this message "out of range, cannot display." So, i hooked it back to the previous monitor (which worked well before all this), but the same thing happened. I tried rebooting into safemode, but that didnt resolve the problem. Is there anything i can do? I'm thinking of borrowing a CRT monitor, get the resolution settings back to lowest. Will that work?

Thank you in advance (I did a search in the forum and found some similar posts, but they didn't fits the details of my situation. Regardless, sorry for the trouble if there is already another post about this)
