You might try changing (slowing down)the refresh rate on your monitor. This is usually done in the advanced display settings.

Are you even getting to Windows or is it dying at the POST? If your monitor is fairly new and has the digital control panel, check your monitors manual to do a "recall" or "reset". This will set your monitors functions back to the factory set "safe"defaults. Is the monitor a standard VESA style or are you using coax or other components. When all else fails, try and get some other cables to see if it might be a cable issue.

As a last resort, go to the CMOS settings and use the factory safe defaults to reset the CMOS. This might slow down performance somewhat, but it will set up the box with a set of safe settings that should be fully compatible with most devices.

Boot up into safe mode and check the resolution of your video card. If it is to high your monitor might not be able to take it. Drop it down to 800x600 and reboot. I got that frequency message last week but I had to reinstall the video drivers while in safe mode. Good luck.
