I have installed a new 9600 XT. There are a couple of problems. If I
try to boot to safe mode, the screen will go black and I get a
message:
Out of range
set monitor to 1280x1024, 60 hertz refresh

These are the settings of the monitor, HP Pavilion f1903
There is nothing on the screen but black and the message. Monitor
menu will not work so I have to boot to regular mode.

Also was getting a blue screen every once in awhile. Message on
screen disappears to fast to read but it is a driver problem. I did
have an Nvidea card installed and could not unistall the drivers
before I installed the Radeon. Have tried to manually remove all the
Nvidea drivers. I now have the Omega drivers for Ati cards installed.
Blue screen has not come up for a couple of days but still can not
boot to safe mode.

OS: XP pro, SP2
Pentium 4, 2.4 mH processor
ASUS P4SDX mainboard
Sound Blaster Extigy sound card
2 gig ram
2 SATA hard drives, SATA Plextor DVDR/CDR drive
3 External USB 2 hard drives
