Out of range error on my dell ultrasharp monitor

Windows is likely crashing while loading recently upgraded device drivers. The most common culprits for this scenario are video drivers.

The next time you boot, as soon as you see the Dell splash screen, start tapping the F8-key about once every second until you see a white on black menu. If you see the Windows logo, you missed it (try again, this time start tapping the F8-key a little before the Dell splash screen).

This menu will allow you to boot Windows in "Safe Mode", which will bypass any non-essential drivers and applications that could be causing the crashing. Select "Safe Mode with networking".

Assuming the computer booted fine in Safe Mode, you will be able to remove the troublesome drivers. You will see an informational message about Safe Mode, which you may close at any time. Right-click "My Computer" and select "Manage". Wait a moment for the Computer Management window to appear. Then, click on "Device Manager". If Windows was able to identify the faulty driver, it will appear in the list with a bright-yellow triangle. If this is the case, right-click and "uninstall" it. If it did not show up, first click the tiny white triangle next to "Display Adapters" and "Monitors" to open those categories. Then, right-click and "uninstall" everything listed within the two categories. Your computer will probably boot normally after doing this. But, try and find the proper driver for you video adapter before rebooting if possible. I recommend also re-installing the chipset drivers which may be related to the problem.

To attain drivers for your specific Dimension B110, visit the following link and enter the service tag code on the back or side of your machine: Dell Drivers

I think you answered your own question--the computer works well with other monitors, but not this one.
I would suspect that this one is bad.
You might try to do this: Start the computer in safe mode and see if your monitor is reacting to video settings that are beyond it's capability (although if this is the case it should tell you it's out of range).
If it works in safe mode, try resetting the resolution to see if it will work with the new monitor (I seriously doubt that this is the problem).

Hi there!

After trying to load to you windows XP does it give you any error message? If not, have you tried to remove unnecessary things that is plugged in to your computer for example printer, mp3 something like that just leave the monitor, keyboard and mouse plugged in then try to start the computer. If it's still not working and you have tried to access safe mode already then you'll need to back all the files in your computer because there's a high chance that you might need to reformat it.



Hope this helps!

That is the computer problem, try booting in safe mode to see it works OK, if it does, you can try uisng system restore to take it back the known working date before the problem start.

The burners may have nothing at all to do with this. Try the monitor on another computer (a laptop will do) if you have one. If the problem perists with the monitor, then the moniitor has failed. If the monitor works on another computer, or you do not have another to try, then start the computer and tap the F-8 key to boot to safe mode. If that gets you a display, then fix the display settings, also check the device manager for any signs of hardware trouble, and make any corrections that may be needed, and reboot. If safe mode does not get you a display, try disconnecting the new hardware. If still no joy, I'd say it's the monitor.

when the computer turns on , keep pressing f8 or f12 to give u a boot options, choose safe mode. when windows xp loads up right click on desktop and goto properties, then click settings, then addvance, then click on the monitor tab, and lower the screen refresh rate down to its lowest and then restart pc. hope this helps. if u cant change these options in safe mode use a normal monitor and lower them down to 60 hertz and then put back in your lcd. hope this helps.

Start in SAFE mode (press F8 wile booting) and choose Last Known Good to see if it works in Windows DEFAULT setting.

My guess is that MSoft pushed a patch or SP to your box and IT replaced the dll your monitor was using.

Goto www.support.dell.com and DL the correct drivers again

Good Luck!
Let me know what you discover ;-)

Let me know if this fixes it
