I have been trying to replace my intagrated video with a Radeon X1300 but I keep getting the "out of range" error. It can happen at any time, when Im in BIOS, on safe mode and on the regular mode a couple of seconds after windows is already running. Once I get the error theres nothing I can do to make it go away except for turning off the computer. Also when Im starting the computer the monitor blinks for a few seconds. I never had any dispaly problems when using my integrated video or the same monitor with an older computer.
I tried running with another monitor (an old CTR one) but its the same thing. Im pretty sure that it is not a resolution issue since I tried all of them and always got the error. I read somewhere that it could aslo be a frecuency error but Im not sure of how to deal with that.
Im guessing that is a connection issue but Im not sure. Right now Im using a DVI-VGA adapter that doesn't seem to have a very stable connection. I also have a problem with video card not fitting on my chasis since the chasis itself is too small. The video card seems to fit just fine in the PCI-Express x16 slot and get all the power it needs so I dont think thats the problem but I can be 100% sure about that. I alsoremoved the drivers from the intagrated video (nvidia) but not sure I did it right.
Anyways Im really out of ideas and not sure where the problem could be. I would greatly appreciate any help.
Thanks
