It is not receiving a proper signal from your PC. Check that the cable attached to the PC is tight, and that none of the pins in the cable are bend.
Then try booting the PC in Safe Mode (as soon as you turn on the PC begin repeatedly pressing the F8 key until you get a screen with the Safe Mode option). If you have a picture in Safe Mode, then you have either a bad video setting (reduce the refresh rate, the screen size and the color depth in that order until you find the one that fixes it), or a bad video driver (check the manufacturer's web site for the lastest drivers).
If all that fails, try attaching the monitor to another PC. If you still get the error, then something has burned out in the monitor itself and you will need to replace the monitor.
Good luck....

It means your display adapter (video card) is set to send a refresh rate to your monitor that the monitor can't handle. Some monitors display this generically when the resolution (640x480,800x600,1024x768,etc.) is set too high for the monitor to display.
If you're running Windows and can't see the screen once it boots, restart the system. Hit the F8 key when the system first starts to boot. Wait for the initial DOS looking black screen phase of the OS load and hit F8 a few times. This should display a boot option menu. Choose start in VGA mode. This should allow you to boot the system with vanilla default VGA settings. Go to the Control Panel and choose display settings. You should be able to adjust the settings to something that works with your monitor from there. 640x480@60 Hz refresh rate is standard, ugly VGA. Most monitors support at least 1024x768.
Most standard aspect ratio flat screens run 1280x1024. Most 19' or above wide aspect ratio run 1680x1050.

If its a wireless monitor like mine, then the monitor got out of range. If it's a VGA or LCD, the cable may be a little messed up; even the rods at each side of the connection. If it a laptop LCD screen, then find your function key and change your monitor to show on the laptop. If all fails, call the manu.

Check the refresh rate setting in Windows. An LCD monitor should have that setting set at 60Hz. A CRT monitor can usually go up to 85Hz or higher, though 75Hz is usually good enough.

out of frequency means that the screen refrech rate dosen't match the resolution of your Monitor...
so u should open the safe mode and decrease the resolution of your screen.. 2 avoid seeing this messaga again..

haven't encountered it yet..what i have been encountering is "Over frequency".. i'm not so sure as to why it happens...but if ur trying to get rid of that.. i think i can be of help..
right click on the desktop then properties, settings, click advanced , then choose adapter then under refresh rate choose adapter default (if it's availabe)then click apply, then ok.. u must restart ur pc before it would take effect..

The monitor is either completely disconnected from your processor or vice versa. Just try pushing the cords and making sure they are secure.

You've set your refresh rate too high.
