LCD monitor and new MB problems

[Mattrixx]

I need some understanding about LCD monitors and "Out of Range" in low video
mode.

My 19" Viewsonic LCD monitor shows me a vertical rolling "Out of Range" box
with H.Frequency 64 kHz and V.Frequency 60.2 Hz when I first boot up, but
only *before* Windows desktop where it displays correctly.

I recently changed Motherboards and CPU, while retaining all other hardware
including ATI "All in Wonder" video card.
Upon initial boot after the MB/CPU swap I had to revert back to my old CRT
in order to continue on to the BIOS and configuration, because of this out
of sync problem with the LCD. I could not "see" using my LCD!
After setting up BIOS config and loading Windows (and any new hardware
drivers), I shutdown and exchanged the CRT back to my LCD.

The LCD displays correctly in Windows, but on imediate bootup, I still get
the "Out of Range" box, and the same vertical flickering. Also when I try to
enter the BIOS using the LCD, and again when pressing the F8 key to enter
"Safe Mode" I encounter this same out of "Out of Range" sync problem!

I never had this problem with my older motherboard (and CPU) and I`m
wondering now if there could be a BIOS setting with the new MB I may have
missed, that may be causing this out of range out of sync problem?

Any experienced insight into this matter would be greatly appreciated!

A decent LCD should never give an Out of Range error at lower
frequencies than the max it supports.

I'm so grateful to the USA for their contribution to the war on terror.
After all, if they hadn't funded the IRA for 30 years, we wouldn't know
what terror was.
