Or

If you receive these errors, review your settings and try again.  You may receive an error because the new resolution or mode exceeds the bandwidth limit supported on the particular chipset.

Using the Custom Resolutions/Modes feature requires knowledge of the supported timing standards and parameters of your monitor. See your monitor manufacturer for information.

Use the appropriate timing standards or parameters when adding a custom resolution/mode. Changing modes may:

• Reduce system stability and useful life of the system and chipset
• Cause the chipset and other system components to fail
• Reduce computer performance
• Cause extra heat or other damage
• Affect system data integrity

We haven't tested and don't warranty the operation of the chipset beyond normal specifications.
