Default Refresh "Out of Range". Can't see screen
I've been here before and cannot remember if I had to go into the registry or what....
I had a systemboard problem. saved my hard drive and memory, swapped out the system board for one that is similar but not exact, so I'm just now rebuilding things.
Win7 Ultimate edition booted right up and had no trouble with chipset etc.
Except, that right when it shifts into its managed graphics mode at the point it presents the various user account login widgets, the screen resolution/refresh is set, and I lose the display. The flat panel control IC is kind enough to give me "Out of Range 59HZ-65KHz".
So I went in through Safe Mode and changed the preferred resolution, but of course that did not work.
What do I need to do to get a "default" of something easy like 800x600 256 color 60Hz so I can start there and set something workable??
