The “Out of Range” may happen if you switch monitor A to monitor B for your PC. Whenever you change
the monitor for your PC, your PC may detect it as a new hardware and automatically install a proper driver
for the monitor. So, you will have both monitor A and monitor B drivers on your PC. Sometimes the two
monitor drivers may conflict each other and cause “Out of Range”. You can resolve “Out of Range” by
uninstalling both monitor drivers and reboot your PC. The Windows will automatically detect the new
hardware and install a proper driver for the monitor. Here is a quick way to uninstall the monitor drivers:
Right click on “My Computer”, select “Properties” and click on “Hardware”. Click on “Device Manager”,
select “Monitor” and click on “+” in front of “Monitor”. Then you can see one of the monitor drivers called
“Plug and Play Monitor”. A quick way is to uninstall all the monitor drivers and then let Windows
automatically detect the new hardware. (Right click on the monitor driver and select “Uninstall”).
