| 376110 | 2005-07-27 10:26:00 | My computer just won't start up at all. It powers up then brings the message: "Frequency out of range" and doesn't go anywhere after that. The monitor's not the problem coz I plugged it into another CPU and it worked fine. Could the prob be with my video card? | jambazijangili (8614) | ||

| 376112 | 2005-07-27 10:41:00 | have you tried another monitor on your "CPU" (System Unit or "Box" is the correct term, the CPU is the wee square thing that looks like a hedgehog and hides under your heatsink and Fan inside the machine) Have a look at a CPU here images.google.co.nz |

| 376113 | 2005-07-27 10:45:00 | Welcome to PressF1 :) When you say your computer will not start at all, do you mean Windows doesn't load but you can still see the initial system startup text (POST) or you get nothing at all displayed? If you can see the initial startup text, then try to start Windows in Safe Mode (try tapping F8 when it starts up). If you can get into Safe Mode, then go into the Control Panel > Display and change your resolution to 800x600 and the refresh rate to 70 Hz. Then restart the PC and see if Windows loads normally. If Windows does load normally, then go back and reset the display to your normal resolution (eg 1024x768 @ 85 Hz refresh). [Edit: hmm a bit slow to post, I see starting in Safe Mode and changing the refresh rate has been also suggested] |

| 376114 | 2005-07-27 10:53:00 | actually jen i may have goofed, some monitors display that message when they get no signal ie dead pc. if you can't boot into safe mode then its dead pc fault finding. going bt the first post might be better to take it to a tech. | tweak'e (69) | ||
