Im getting ****** off with this god dam ******* PC.

I try to play a game, and my monitor comes up with a message "Out of range" and just says that until i hit "CTRL + ALT + DELETE"

Does it with GT Legends, Oblivion, etc...

Worked an hour ago....

Any one wanna buy a broken PC? :mad:

You just installed the new drivers?
Check the refresh rate and resolution.

Mindriot · 22 Apr 2006 at 21:32

This used to happen to me

I assume you are using a crt moniter. I used to get this error when i set the refresh rate too high for my moniter to handle. At 1280x960 it was set at 75Hz and if i tried to increase it, i would get that error.

I hope you find this useful...

It is the refresh rate of the games.

add -win to the target and then change the graphics options, then remove and enjoy the games again.

20 minutes of silence - I can only assume it worked (or the pc has been sledgehammered!)

Im thinking, has my gfx card fried?

Yewen · 22 Apr 2006 at 22:34

No, it is running the games out of the monitors specification as I have said on MSN.

Find out how to either run them in a window, or run the games in a safe mode by forcing the resolution and refresh down in a config file.

Your hardware from what you have said is fine. Either re-install windows or correct the settings manually.

Reinstall the original drivers.
Try reinstalling the games.
Last resort - reinstall windows.

UOcUK Poopscoop · 22 Apr 2006 at 23:31

Only skimmed the thread.....but you tried a sys restore to earlier today or yesterday or something?

Got to be worth a shot if not?

Drake5 · 22 Apr 2006 at 23:33

Thanks
