Dislpay Out of Range Error.... Pls help....

[ECE0105]

Hi,

My cousin's got a Zenith PC, with a P4 1.6 and VIA Chipset.

His comp. was working fine till a few days ago, but suddenly, whenever it is booting up, after the Windows load screen, the monitor suddenly goes blank and Gives that "Display out of range" error message.

It is working fine in Safe mode though and tried different resolutions and worked.. I tried an LKGC and that didn't help.

Any help is much appreciated.

To resolve this behavior, either change the refresh rate, or change the video adapter settings.

To change the refresh rate:

2. Right-click the desktop, click Properties, and then click Settings.
3. Click Advanced, click Adapter, and then click Adapter Default from the Refresh Rate list.
4. Click OK, click OK again, and then click Yes to restart the computer in Normal mode.
You can set the colors and screen area to your preferences under Display Properties.

3. Click Advanced, click Adapter, and then click Change.

6. Click Standard Display Adapter (VGA), and then click Next.
