Resolution Stopped Working Properly / "OUT OF RANGE"
Feb 5, 2012
I was able to run normal resolution for a long time now and never had any issues. Today, I wake up and turn on my computer and I see some random resolution, everything is huge and looks like shit. I tried adjusting my resolution but anything past 1280x1024 doesn't work and the monitor just says "OUT OF RANGE".I run windows 7 and my graphis card is NVIDIA GeForce 7300 GS
I recently built a computer (specs below) and have had few problems until recently. About once a day, the system will go to the Blue screen and restart. Upon restart, it says that the Video Card stopped working properly. Obviously I'd think it's that but don't know where to start.
Here are the problem details: Problem signature: Problem Event Name:Blue Screen OS Version:6.1.7601.2.1.0.256.48 Locale ID:1033
Additional information about the problem: BCCode:3b BCP1:00000000C0000005 BCP2:FFFFF880058F2817 BCP3:FFFFF88008965780 BCP4:0000000000000000 OS Version:6_1_7601 Service Pack:1_0 Product:256_1
CPU Specs: Mobo: MSI 67A-GD65 CPU: i7 Sandybridge 2600 Graphics: Asus EAH6950 Windows 7 Pro 64bit 8GB Ram
My native resolution is 1600x1200 but when i change my resolution to 1600x1200 it says 'frequency out range'. I have intel g31 without other graphic card.Then i installed gma driver it shows complete list of all resolutions but i cant set any resolution above 1600x900.
what a big ass step up in performance going from vista 32 bit to 7 64 bit, wow!
So anyway ive managed to get everthing else working on my computer but am having a problem setting the native resolution of my LG Flatron L204WS monitor. I've had a search in this part of the forums and couldnt find anyone with a similar problem so i hope im not posting another unecessary post!
Graphic card: 8800 GTX
Driver version: Windows update, the newest Nvidia Drivers for windows 7
Monitor cable: VGA, as this is all it supports
The problem: When trying to set the native resolution of my monitor to 1680x1050 im getting the message from my monitor that it is out of range, i think the setting for refresh rate is at 59hz and wont change to 60. I have located some LG drivers for the monitor and installed those and now windows recognizes my monitor in the advanced settings but not in the direct window of screen resolution. Could this be why? Or could it be related to the fact that the resolution atm 1400x1050 works with 59Hz but 1680x1050 does not work with 59Hz?
Ive seen a few other posts with people stuck on 59 and not being able to change to 60 but there has been no real solution found as of yet. I think i have listed all the relevant information needed for a bit of troubleshooting only if you were so kind to have a look and have a ponder
O yes there was one other very strange oddity, when i run a game such as Team Fortress 2, i can set my resolution to 1680x1050 and it runs fine, how very odd! Thats where this problem stumps me even more!
I recently downloaded Metro 2033 on steam. It made my computer go "Out of range" even when I rebooted, So I called a technician over to fix it and I think he did a clean reinstall of the OS. It worked after that but now I can't seem to play any games and I can't go back to resolutions such as 1280x720. I've used 1280x720 when playing an old game called "Sniper Elite" and it just goes out of range for most resolutions.
I recently had a problem with my games (found in the thread here) that involved the games lagging badly. It turned out to be an image settings preference that I hadn't set properly. In my attempt to fix the problem however I did a clean install of drivers and updated to v301.42.
Since I installed the new driver none of my games would start (NBA 2K12, Assassin's Creed, Skyrim etc.) and simply go to a black windowed screen. Skyrim tells me that 'Your display doesn't support the selected resolution'. However, I am using the native resolution (1680x1050) for my monitor.
i've finally got the system up and running.lm using the same gfx card as l used to the Radeon 4650 HD after installing the cards drivers it seems to cause issues where the monitor gives me an "unsupported" resolution error when on my previous setup said card had no trouble going to 1350*768 (cant seem to go above 1024*768 without having to roll back drivers)
Whenever i plug in my ethernet cable my keyboard stops working (g19 logitech). I can see the lights on the keyboard and screen but it stops functioning and i have to unplug/replug usb for it to be back to normal.
Recently my computer has been force closing applications like Photoshop and Windows Explorer. It usually happens when I right click in Explorer or try to open anything in Photoshop. When it happens, a dialogue box comes up that says "Windows Explorer has stopped working" or "Adobe Photoshop has stopped working" Under the details it displays this information:
Problem signature: Problem Event Name:APPCRASH Application Name:Explorer.EXE Application Version:6.1.7600.16768 Application Timestamp:4d688122
I am running windows 7 and my cd rom is not working properly. It was reinstalled which seemed to help a LITTLE, but sometimes you have to incert a cd 7 or eight times before it will read it. I can see that there is a cd inserted (when I go to my computer I can see the D drive). Just doesn't read them all the time. I have a Dell with a vertical cd drive. When I view it through the control panel it says my driver is up to date.
I have an Acer Aspire One AOA150Bb running 7 Ultimate X86 and up until last week i think everything was running as normal but now when i drag my program windows it comes up with a black box outline as it does in the Basic theme why is this is there a quick fix to it or will i have to live with it or reinstall.
It is very strange. If I right click right now anywhere it will work. When I am in any game, however, it acts very strange. The right click sometimes does not register, and other times will be inconsistent.
For example, if I have to hold down the right button for me to eat a jelly bean, it will cancel mid hold, as if I had let go. This all started happening after an episode where I accidentally messed with sticky keys.
I have a Gioteck EX-05 headset, and when I plug it in, my computer detects it and installs the drivers, however it continues to play sound through its speakers and not my headset. The headset appears in device manager, but it is not listed as a playback device in the Devices and Printers section of the Control Panel. I have tried un-installing and Re-installing the drivers, but that doesn't work
The number pad on my acer laptop is out of wack. My toddlers got a hold my computer and must have changed a setting. Some of the numbers work...but when I press the 8...the screen reloads and erases part of the number sequence I already punched inAlso, the 6 above the letters does something similar. How do I reset the number pad so that I can use it?
So I recently dropped my laptop and as a result the hard drive isn't working properly. I'm going to buy a new hard drive and put it in, and then try to plug my old hard drive in and get the data off of it.I've got Windows Vista (Home Premium) on my laptop but I want to upgrade to Windows 7. Will I need to buy a Windows 7 upgrade or will I need the buy the entire thing? Because I don't have a Vista recovery disc (it didn't come with my laptop). Another thing is: my brother has the CDs for Windows 7 but he just doesn't have a spare licence key for me to use. What I basically want to be able to do is put Windows 7 on my laptop
Just bought a new Lenovo G770 5 days ago. Running Win7 64bit. The system repeatedly thinks the CTRL key is being pressed when it isn't. In the middle of typing a sentence, suddenly every letter I type performs the associated ctrl key action. The only remedy is a complete reboot (and loss of data in the process). I have googled this problem and it seems pretty common, but all I've found are a lot of suggestions (some of them too technical) and no clear solutions. Some of the non-useful suggestions I've gotten already: "Wedge the CTRL key up" ~ it is not physically stuck; I have not even touched the key when this happens. If the key were simply physically stuck, a reboot would not solve the problem. "Clean your keyboard" ~ the keyboard is not dirty; it's 5 days old.
I recently did the update they windows 7 prompted me to do and now nothing seems to be working properly.- gadgets not loading ( blue square with !)- Skype not working, tried uninstalling, reinstalling,etc-Internet explorer problems- can not get to my email through my desktop and when I use Mozilla it won't let me update to the newest version.-computer running slow- cannot open some programs
I've made sure that the file typoe that I'm searching is included in the searches, I've indexed search on my computer to make sure everything is inluded but it's still not finding what I'm looking for. I'm searching for an image file(.png) that I know is on my computer(and I have several of them that start with the name that I;m searching) and none of them come up?
when i plug my headphones they are recognized and everything but just say i watch a Internet video with commentary i can faintly hear the commentary but mainly what i can hear is some kind of music that is not related to the video. but if i watch it without headphone there is no music.
my OS Win 7x64 IE9 and just started experiencing a problem with connecting to the internet.The issue arises when I first connect to the internet.After a few minutes things freeze and there is no response when I move the mouse or attempt to click.Then I am abruptly disconnected from the internet.After a few seconds I am reconnected.Thinking that it may be a virus or other malware I ran MBAM, SAS and MSE along with RKill and TDSS killer. All results are negative. Just wondering what is causing this and how does one correct it.I have not added any new programs or such and the only thing replaced recently is a new mouse.
i have two problems. when i use internet explorer, it constantly flickers, especialy during videos.when i use google chrome it doesn't flicker but Internet freezes up?
I have a duel boot desk top computer. Windows Xp x 32 and Windows 7 x 64. I modified my server load screen and wanted to check it so I hit the print screen key and pasted it to paint and all I get is a back screen instead of the load screen image. Then I took a image of my desk top and the image is fine. Did the same thing on windows xp and everything is fine,the load screen image and the desk are image are coming out just the way there suppose to. Is there a setting that I'm missing on windows 7 that could be causing my problem.
i opened system protection today to find it hasnt been making restore points and that there was an error when i tried to set it up.My system came with Vista which I then set up to dual boot with 7, and then following that, I deleted Vista altogether. In system restore, I can see
System Windows 7 C: (system) Recovery Windows 7 C: (missing) Windows 7 C: (missing)
I think at least one of system /recovery my belong to Vista, as they dont show up in windows explorer?
The touchpad stopped working properly about 8 months ago. It was not a big matter to me as i only use USB mouse as pointing device. But yesterday i experianced a strange error. WHEN I START WINDOWS THE CURSOR AUTOMATICALLY SELECTS THE LAST ICON ON MY DESKTOP AND IT STRATS BLINKING.EVEN WHEN I OPEN "MY COMPUTER" OR ANY FOLDER OR ANY DROP DOWN MENU,IT OPENS WITH THE LAST DRIVE/THE LAST FOLDER/THE LAST FILE PRESELECTED AND WHEN I CLICK ANY OTHER DRIVE OR FOLDER THE CURSOR ONLY OPENS THE LAST DRIVE/FOLDER/FILE WHICH MEANS I CAN'T USE MY COMPUTER AT ALL.But sometimes it works fine about 30 mins and then again the same problem begins.
So I'm having a problem with my desktop Icons. The shortcuts are all working but their Icons are not unless I set my desktop to show large icons, which looks ridiculous. I have reset the Icon Cache twice without success.
I just had to do a reinstall of my Window's 7 and since have had a problem with 2 keys on my keyboard. When I use the apostrophe key, nothing happens, but when I type something after, it appears. It's no big deal really, but I'm rather anal and it just bugs me when something isn't working right.
I have used search here at SF and gone through the tutorials, but can't find anything that quite matches. I tried to update driver's but the little box on the screen tells me driver's are up to date. I checked Device Manager and it doesn't indicate any problem. I checked Keyboard in Control Panel and it says the device is working properly.
My system is Dell OptiPlex 740, 2.50 GB RAM, Win 7 Ultimate 64bit.All of a sudden - the USB ports (all 7 of them) stopped to function roperly.Each device I plugged into the port - got recognized as 'uknown device' and doesn't function at all.One of the biggest problems that this cause me - I can't plug in the keyboard and the mice - I don't have PS/2 ports in this computer.Thing is, even out of Windows, the USB doesn't work. I'm suspecting this because the PC giving me 'Keyboard fault' everytime I restart. So I can't got to BIOS either.Right now I'm using special combination of USB hub attached to one of the ports, and the peripherals connected to the hub
I have got a 64-bit processor and am running home premium 64-it, however i am getting anoyed with some of the old software, and also some games (generaly old ones) not working properly or not starting. I was supplied with a 32 bit version of windows and was wondering whether this software would work if i was running a 32 bit copy of windows or is it the fact that i have a 64 bit processor the thing that makes running the software. I am a bir of a novice at this kind of area but not completly illiterate when it comes to using a computer. Would dual booting be the solution, i don't want to have to wipe the hard drive and would like to keep the 64 bit versions as the main boot. Would insalling on an external hard drive be a good solution.
I have Windows 7 Professional x64, a Diamond Multimedia XS51 5.1 Soundcard and a Logitech Z506 speaker set up (used set up from liquidator).I am having trouble installing sound card drivers and I'm not getting sound to the center and rear speakers. Also, the speaker doesn't seem to work. I'm not sure if that sure work automatically or what?
I have got his bizarre problem, my mouse and keyboard just stopped working properly.The mouse pointer moves but right click does not work and if I left click on a folder the the properties pan of the folder opens up. Sometimes the left click does work, but the menu which opens up stays for a fraction of a second and disappears.But this is just half of the problem, the enter key toggles full screen mode for an application. I think something corrupted the key bindings and the mouse drivers. Is there any way to fix the problem.
