I get an input not supported error showing up on the screen when booting up the computer. However if I boot it up in safe mode i don't receive a message and everything works fine. While I was in safe mode I disable my Nividia Geforce 8800 GTS graphics card and I rebooted up in the normal mode and now its working. Is it something wrong with the monitor or my graphics card?And how can I resolve this issue?

Did you set the PC video out to the native resolution of this ACER? 1400 X 1050 60Hz.

You will get the unsupported message if it cannot handle the resolution you are trying to display.

Boot menu

Your computer's BIOS, or basic input/output system, regulates several important system functions before your operating system loads.
The BIOS can even tell your operating system which device it should load from, whether the computer's hard drive or a USB stick.
You can control this and other options from the BIOS boot menu.
If you own an Acer Aspire One netbook and want to access the boot menu, you can do so by entering the computer's BIOS.

Turn off your Acer Aspire One netbook.
Turn it back on.

Press "F2" when you see the Acer logo appear as the computer boots up.
This will open the computer's BIOS menu.

Press the arrow keys to highlight the Boot option.
Press the down arrow key to highlight specific boot settings to change.

  3. Choose the option for Safe Mode.
  4. Go to Start, Control Panel and double-click Display.

Input not support, Acer V193w

if the monitor is DVI conencted to PCI card, the computer will not see the monitor, on boot up, only in the Windows mode.
replace the DVI connecting with a VGA connection on the monitor, if there is no VGA connection on the monitor then you need to get a VGA monitor and connect that to theVGA port on the motherboard connector at the rear of the computer.
