"H or V sync. over range" ??!?!

zeroplasma SG · 2007-06-15T01:34:19+00:00

In the PC show LG has some really really good LCDs. designed for gamers. Ask u sth, how long is considered a good lifespan for monitors. Really not sure, us...

zeroplasma SG

i bought a new computer, but using an older monitor.
previously i did not use any graphic cards to run the game and though its slow, its still playable. but now with a much more powerful pc and graphic card, whenever i launch the game my monitor blacks out and says "H or V sync. over range". i hear the menu bgm, it sounds smoothly but there is nothing shown on the screen. what is happening?

please, tell me what should i do..please... thank you

Your monitor can’t support the new graphics card… most likely the frequency issue…

May help if u provide your specs to details, especially you old and new graphic card, and that problematic monitor’s.

thanks for the suggestion, but im still open to answer to be sure, and after posting my new pc specs

You need a 60" plasma to go with your new computer. Laughing

chenc SG

Laughing you just leap from stone age to modern day?

The 2 specs are far cry from each other.

coincidentally, my old desktop is p3 800mhz 320Ram 32 graphics and i just got a E6600 system with 512graphics. maybe i will plug the new pc into my old desktop's CRT now and see what happens.

I suggest you bring over your CPU to someone who uses a LCD monitor… chances are that your monitor can’t support what the graphics card is able to…

zeroplasma SG

lol yeha but damn broke now. this baby cost me Rm2115.

aih. and now im told that i have to buy a LCD. might as well hang myself
buy so good de spec but cant use. someone kill me lar now

chenc SG

tried on mine crt and worked.

pixel over-range is my best guess. maybe u try reseting your display to lower resolutions.

ndmmxiaomayi SG

Buy a second hand monitor?

Or you can try to lower the settings, rather than the default settings that Windows recommend.

Try with somebody's monitor first before buying.

chenc SG

Frequency Over range.

Your "Frequency Over Range" Error reflects a problem with your
computer's video monitor is probably occurring due to one of the
following scenarios:

1) You recently changed your screen resolution settings or refresh rate.
(if you know how, try lowering each of those settings separately
or together to see if it resolves your problem)

2) You recently installed a new video card.
(did you visit the manufacturer's website
to download the most recent driver?)

3) You recently installed a new or upgraded video card driver.

4) You recently installed a different monitor.

5) You recently installed new application software, such as a video game.

6) You recently installed a new motherboard or BIOS.

Right click on the desktop>properties>settings>advance>monitor... and change the screen refresh rate lower and see how...

Basically, he did all. I'm not sure if latest drivers will help, because it concerns the monitor, not the card itself. If the monitor can't handle the settings that the card prefers to, lowering settings will help, but it's more often than not a temporary solution.

zeroplasma SG

thanks for being so helpful, but ive tried it all. as for tweaking the card setting itself, i dont dare to do too much cos im quite a low end user and dont know what im doing to my new pc.

guess i'll be buying a new monitor lar..neeway, i was told that samsung one is RM630, BenQ is 520 or in the range. which u guys recommand ar? weighing both quality, durability and of course, my stomach. (no money eat if sped too much)

chenc SG

BenQ is cheap but not budget. It does offer products of good quality, matching those from big brandnames. As for samsung, its monitors are superior.

Quality and durability issues, I would say BenQ definitely do not disadvantage you.

Performance wise, if u r not crazy about high end games, a few ms lack in response time and slight less contrast ratios do not matter at all. You won't be able to tell the difference anyway.

So if i were you, and i love to eat so much, I would go for BenQ

chenc SG

Yar if he tweak the frequency hz and resolution and worked, it would be a waste anyway. For his com he should get a 22inch wide or sth.

ndmmxiaomayi SG

BenQ isn't too bad previously, but now I'm not too sure.

Samsung ar... my impression of it is bad. Nearly all monitor problems that I came across is from Samsung.

My personal preference is Viewsonic, not that cheap, but it lasts long. Have quite a few monitors, they are long lasting. Phillips too, but its standards is like roller coaster. Sometimes good, sometimes bad.

If you are really into gaming, then you will want to get a good one, otherwise, an average one would suffice.
