Question

"Sync. Out Of Range" This words flying in monitor!!
And computer cannot press reset button, just can switch off the electric directly!!
HELP!! Help me to fix it!!!
Actually, what is the problems??

Answer 1

dont turn your pc on utnil you do this.



Restart pc



Press F8 over and over while its starting up (press once per 1/2 second)



You will see a list of options



Select "VGA MODE"



Then go to the background and right click and then properties and reset your resolution



this is a resolution problem not a virus



If this does not work then there is a connection issue or your vid card is bad.

Answer 2

this is it...

are you invoking an application/game that has it's own resolition settings? If you are then some monitors can change it's frequency to best accomodate the resolution, but i doubt it is this.



Based on the fact that you mentioned that the reset button does not function, i am inclined to think that there is an issue on the motherboard itself, seeing that the motherboard had power - this means that your graphics adapter has power and this will engage the monitor to come on (receiving signal), but there is no video output to the monitor...thus this would give you an "OUT OF RANGE" message, (no frequency is out of the monitors range).



If i am correct, this happens after the pc is on for a while and (usually never the same amount of time), if the pc is being used intensively, then the failure happens more sooner than later. components like you CD rom will open and close because the device is not motherboard dependant for this function to occur. Check your keyboard and note whether or not the CAPS light goes on and off when you press the CAPS button. If it stays in the same state then it means that the motherboard is not responding to this function.



I believe that you have a heating problem and your motherboard is failing or seizing all operations when you hit that critical point or there is an issue with your motherboard itself. Probably a damaged component. If i were you, i would open the chasis cover and check the state of all component - check that fans are spinning and that all components are seated firmly also check the amount of dirt on motherboard as well. Also put a conventional appliance fan to face onto the motherboard and check how long it takes for the pc to freeze again. If the pc works fine with the fan blowing onto it, then it was a heating problem, check the heat sink, processor fan and thermal grease on main processor.

Addtional chasis fans can be incorprated to assist with pc cooling, this needs some planning so that you assist air flow and not compund the problem, arrange the fan(s) so that you achieve maximum heat dissapation.

Good luck

Answer 3

Error Message:

Sync Out of Range

Translation:

You will see this on an otherwise blank screen. Assuming that the data cable is plugged in correctly, the video card is feeding the monitor a signal stream in excess of what the monitor can accommodate. The two main causes for this are that the user has set either the resolution or the vertical frequency rate too high. For example, you might set a new graphics card to display at 1280 x 1024, but if the monitor is only capable of 1024 x 768 resolution, you’ll get a Sync Out of Range error. This is especially common in 14-inch monitors.



Solution:

Because you obviously can’t make settings changes from within regular Windows, you’ll need to reboot into Windows Safe Mode. When you restart the system, there is a point during boot up when the system switches from reporting diagnostics and detected components to loading Windows. This point is usually accompanied by a beep and the screen going black. Just before this point, you want to start repeatedly hitting the F8 key. This should bring up a menu of Windows boot options. The one you want to pick is Safe Mode.



From Safe Mode, right-click the Desktop and select Properties. Go to the Settings tab and use the slider to drop your resolution a notch or two. Reboot and let Windows try to go into Normal mode. If this still doesn’t work, go back into Safe Mode and get to the Settings tab of Display Properties. Click the Advanced button, go to the Monitor tab, and check your refresh rate. The lowest advisable rate is usually 60Hz, although this works better for LCD (liquid-crystal display) screens than CRTs (cathode ray tubes). Apply the change and reboot.

Answer 4

Error messages that arise from tweaking display settings are among the trickiest to resolve because many throw the monitor out of whack and make it impossible to see what you're doing. In most cases Safe Mode is the answer; it loads video drivers that are known to be compatible with Windows, so you can make changes.



The "Sync out of range" message the reader received was referring to the monitor's synchronization rate or refresh rate, which is the number of times a monitor redraws the on-screen image every second. Every monitor has a range of refresh rates it can handle at a given resolution. For example, a monitor can typically handle high refresh rates of 85Hz to 100Hz (1Hz equals one redraw per second) at a relatively low resolution of 640 x 480 pixels (picture elements) but may only be able to deliver refresh rates of 60Hz at a higher resolution of 1,600 x 1,200. If a program or utility calls for refresh rates that are higher or lower than the refresh rate range the monitor can handle, it won't display anything but an error message.



The reader was concerned about long-term damage to the monitor, but that won't happen. The error message is designed to prevent bad things from happening to your monitor rather than popping up to let you know the damage has been done. The message was saying, "You've requested something that is outside the operating parameters of this particular monitor, and we're not going to deliver."



Adjusting refresh rates and resolution is easy if you ever need to do so in Safe Mode. Right-click the Desktop and then click Properties and the Settings tab. You can adjust the resolution using the screen resolution slider. To manage refresh rates, click the Advanced button and the Adapter tab and use the drop-down list to select from the available refresh rates. Always try to go with 76Hz or higher to reduce eyestrain because the monitor appears to flicker at lower rates. If you're using WinXP, click the List All Modes button to see the available refresh rates at each resolution.
