sync set to external. These controls are usually switches on the back of your monitor.

If display problems occur after the startup screen of your operating system, your software
monitor settings may be incorrect.

Solution
Make sure correct software monitor settings are selected.

Problem After the startup screen, or after display settings are changed,
the screen image is garbled or unusable
(blank screen, rolling or overlapping screen images)

Cause
The Matrox display driver may be trying to use settings your monitor doesnt support. This
can happen if a monitor was never selected in the software and the display resolution was
changed to one your monitor doesnt support, or if the monitor connected to your computer
was changed without changing it in the software.
