Monitor is working: Out of scan range

[dsd17]

Every once in a while my monitor will mysteriously shut down. This is the message I receive when this happens:

"Monitor is working
Input 1: 93.8kHz/179Hz
Out of scan range
Change signal timing"

Here are the specs for my system:

Monitor: Compaq P1100 21"
Refresh Rate: 70
Screen resolution: 1024x768
Color quality: 32 bit

Video: PNY Ti4200 8x 64mb

The only options I have on the monitor resolution is 800x600 and 1024x768 and the only options I have for the refresh rate is 60, 70, and 72. I have the latest drivers for the graphics card as well as all of the softfaq on the monitor. Shouldn't I have quite a few more options with this monitor and card?

Something's up there! Be sure to select the monitor's own specialised driver rather than using PnP or generic drivers. If needs be try 'Standard 1600x1200' or the closest match. A monitor like that should be running 1280 @ 85Hz without probs ... nothing in your system indicates a limitation.

That is so funny. I have no idea why (most likely lack of sleep) but I selected my monitor from the list for the softpaq but also seen the 5017 flat panel model directly across from it. For some reason I thought they were the same. Now I have 1920x1440 and 144Hz! Its back to normal! Thx for the help.

Dang ... should have said, 'hey your monitor's faulty, send it to me and you can have my working 19" ' LOL!

That would have been some shipping fee! Atlanta, GA to England? I'd say around $250-300. This thing isn't exactly light but DAMN its big!
