I am unable to access my computer. It goes through all the motions until after it shows the windows screen and then I get a blue screen with a message reading: Frequency Over Range. Is there anyone that has any idea what this means. HELP!!!
Hi,
Sorry to hear of the problem with your machine.
As a first step see if you can boot into safe mode. Reboot your machine and immediately after the BIOS loads tap continuously at the rate of once per second on the F8 key. If you time this right you will get a black screen with a menu, select safe mode or safe mode with VGA.

If this works at least it will give you access to your machine and allow you to make sure that your backup/archive/copy of your important files, data and settings is 100% up to date, accurate and reproducible.

It may be necessary to reinstall your video drivers, but if you can get into your machine it may be best to try and use System Restore to "turn the clock back" and reset your computer to a date prior to your troubles starting, before you do anything else (other than making sure your backup/archive/copy is OK)
More information on this is available from here:
