was it brand new? sounds like its been previously set to a higher res which your monitor cannot support.

Does it have more than one graphics card?

why create a new topic?

would it not be more sensible to add it to your orginal thread, or edit it?

also make sure the gfx drivers are up to date

Keep tapping F8 as it starts up, should bring up a menu to allow you to start in safe mode.
Then you can swap the graphics settings to something your monitor can handle.
