Hi,
Your monitor resolution is set too high or in a range that it cannot handle. Boot to Safe mode by hitting F8 and try changing it.

Out of range errors usually refer to the monitor's refresh rate..since the error is also quoting a refresh rate in Hz I would say go to safe mode and set the refresh rate to something lower 75Hz for a crt monitor, 60 for TFT or LCD My guess is that you are using an LCD monitor and havent installed drivers for it.
