out of range - can't get in to safe mode
Windows 7 home premium 32 bit
Display adapter: ATI Radeon HD 4550 I've connected my usual CRT monitor in order to fix a few problems on this computer but I can't access safe mode as I get the message 'Out of range - H: 75.0K V: 59.9' 75.0K is flashing in red 59.9 is blue. This computer would normally be connected to a large LCD screen. It seems like the graphics adapter is refusing to run in the correct mode to run safe mode with this monitor .. It has the most up to date drivers. I've fixed most of the problems on this computer but I just want to get into safe mode to run system restore (it didn't work in normal mode) any ideas? |

F8 for the boot menu, and start up in VGA mode. From there, you should be able to set a video mode that works with your monitor. |

Try that option. I forgot to mention that this is not safe mode. It's a fully operational mode with all drivers and services running, but at a much reduced resolution. Also, it will probably mess up your desktop it will attempt to fit all icons into the 640 x 480 window. |

I've even removed the graphics card and tried using the graphics integrated into the motherboard .. but with the same results .. |

Why beat a dead horse just connect your large screen monitor that you know works with your video resolution |

If all else fails, use the MB manufacturer's approved procedure to clear CMOS |

Random musings: Have you cleared CMOS? In the BIOS, assuming that you can do anything, what is the video device setting? There can be some negotiations going on during boot and you may need to re-set it to recognize the onboard video before removing the PCI video card. In a pinch, uninstalling devices such as the video card and monitor in device manager can force the computer to reconsider its options. I say this only because your post suggests that you actually can get into 'normal mode'. I've never gotten into trouble doing this but I'm not guaranteeing that it is totally safe either. |

Here's my whacky suggestion... 1: Disconnect the monitor. 2: Power up the PC. 3: Wait until you're sure it's finished booting up. 4: Plug in monitor while power is on. .... this should invoke the plug 'n' play discovery of the connected monitor specs and resolve the issue. Hope this helps Andy |
