Default 8600 gt refresh rate problem

Hello members,

i have recently bought a GeForce 8600 GT graphic card.

i inserted the card in the pci-express slot.
As i start the pc....normal windows xp screen appears, but instead of
the login screen....the monitor blacks out and a message appears
saying "out of range 74.9 Hz / 60 Hz".

My pc configuration is:
pentium(R) D 3.40GHz.
D945GNT motherboard.
1 GB DDR2 RAM.
17 inch lg-l1752s lcd monitor.

Kindly help me resolve this problem...

Thanx & regards,
Sachin Hegde

Premature assessment, unless you have specific knowledge of the mode of
failure and are keeping it a secret.

It still sounds like a desktop settings issue, recall he can get to a
DOS screen.

Remove the card.
Boot into Windows.
Uninstall the display adapter drivers.
Install proper .inf file for your monitor.
Shut down the system.
Boot to the BIOS.
Disable the on-board video, save changes.
Reboot to Windows.
Install nVidia drivers.

This should properly set up your new display adapter to work with your
monitor (your LCD monitor will not work at the refresh rate of 74.9 Hz.
Almost all LCD monitors are limited to a 60 Hz refresh rate (60 frames per
second.)

Are you using a VGA cable or a DVI one?
