Monitor "Out of Range" Error

[davisjm0311]

I recently (today) started having this issue while playing games. It seems to happen roughly 15-30 minutes into playing a game. My computer is a few years old, but no hardware changes of any kind have taken place in at least a year. The monitor is an ASUS that can only run 1080/60 hz. I keep my Nvidia drivers up to date, and I've checked the solutions I could find online (Nvidia control panel settings, Windows settings, game config files and in-game settings).

Any help that can be offered will be greatly appreciated.

Not sure how you got there, I think it's a fouled registry setting. This will get the screen back, reset the screen resolution from the desktop 'right click' to Display Settings. There are some other things to do, but see if this works.

Thanks!

I'm trying this now. I'm also doing a clean install of my Steam library in case something happened there somehow.

Somehow my post dropped the suggestion to uninstall and reinstall Nvidia's drivers.

But yes, you should. Running Windows default video mode probably doesn't look good. :/
