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.

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.
