Problem:
Monitors have a limit of maximum supported frequency (Refresh rate) for each resolution setting at which display is refreshed. When you set a high resolution with a high frequency that is not supported by the monitor, it displays a message Frequency out of range. Within a few seconds of setting the frequency if you press Esc key it will revert back to the previous resolution.
But what if when you are stuck with the same Frequency out of range and your monitor does not display anything.
Don’t worry, we have the solution if your monitor doesn’t display anything
Solution:
1. Boot in VGA mode by keep pressing F8 key during boot-up.
2. Un-install the display driver
3. Set the display settings to some supported value
4. Restart, install display (video) driver and set the appropriate settings which your monitor supports.
5. Restart again and it is Fixed.
Tip: Most of old monitors don’t support 1024×768 at a refresh rate greater than 60Hz, so avoid setting this resolution at a frequency higher than 60 Hz if your monitor is an old CRT monitor.

Hi,
I had installed xp and unfotunately having dual OS with the previous installed 2k. while changing the display, I got the monitor message as “OUT OF FREQUENCY” tried a lot but could not fix it and finally after reading above solution, i could fix up my problem, reinstalled the graphic drivers (both 2k and XP), also reinstalling XP and finally got the best display thanks to Mr. Rohit for his solution.

I have a similar problem, my monitor works fine but when I shut down and reboot or simply reboot my monitor does not display anything it just glows (dark greenish glow) and gives me no warning message, the same monitor works fine with another PC though, I recently have replaced my cpu motherboard and psu and ram, someone please help.
@ Savresh
This may also be because of faulty Video-card or video cable.

hello everyone.
i think this site is too good,since i resolved all my PC problems using the information present on this site everytime
Ok. I restarted my computer to make I.E. to work. When the main screen loaded, the resolution changed. I tried to change it but it gave the Frequency out of Range message. Now, I had a high resolution before. In fact, it was (I believe) the highest resolution. Now I can’t get it to work. Help me O gurus of computer wisdom!
well… it was not really what i was looking for but the moniter freqince was changed and i was wondering how to change it after it says,: freqince changed?
I had a similar problem, my monitor does not display anything it just glows (dark greenish glow) and gave me no warning message.
I solved this problem by following steps.
1. Reboot system.
2. Press F8.
3. selecting VGP mode(just like safe mode).
thnx a ton… it helped me a lot

I had a similar, but I think mine lies on the faulty video-card.
A few days ago my monitor freezed showing a distorted image with some red lines. I restarted the PC, on the monitor appeared “Digital frequency out of range” and the accepted frequency range for the screen. I tried to work it out and changed the cable from digital to analog. It did work for 30 minutes but the monitor freezed again. Fortunately, I have an integrated video hardware wich seems to work on my high resolutin screen (although I see many moving pixels).
I hope that’s the case and change my video-card.
yes,,i follow the solution, my pc si ok,,another problem mouce does not work
Thank you 🙂

Why does my desktop monitor displays “Out of range” on the screen after I boot up Windows 7 Professional; my 19inch monitor is a square 19″ monitor I’ve had for 4 years. The Windows logo comes on and when it was about to show my desktop, the screen goes black and “Out of Range” word shows on my desktop. What do I need to do? I went into the safe mode and tried to solve it with to no avail. I just built a new desktop and I’m lost on what to do; do I need to buy another monitor?
i set my resolution too high and put my monitor out of frequecy. Anybody able to help. plz
hi i want to ask a question about game installation.whenever i install games from cd or dvd first installation runs smoothly but after sometime it shows that files are corrupt crc error in data.cab like files.whenever i downloaded a game and try to install it shows similar error and finally i am unable to install any game
my computer is dell (branded) 3 ghz processor 1 gb ram 256 mb video memory (built in)
Thank you very much
finally, i found solution for this problem.
I had this problem on xp. I switched to high frequentcy and think I click enter which might of clicked okay, cause usually it will revert after 10 seconds but any way. How I fixed?
It didn’t work to use vga mode and safe mode wouldn’t boot,would freeze at words loading.
So I booting into windows and started up the narrator,don’t even know how, but you can with some keys,not sure cause I was just pressing buttons maybe start something or a f key, but I basically used the narrator to change lower the resolution,only using the keyboard cause I couldn’t see the curser,just pressing tab and the arrow keys to navigate to control panel and find my way to display settings and pretty easy from there,just try to remember your paths. If you have another xp machine maybe vista or 7 but xp for sure,you can mimmick the key moves from the other machine but if not then just try to navigate with the narrator. And when you click apply make sure you click ok before ten seconds,I forgot the first time and it reverted back,had to do the navigation again.
