Graphics Upgrade

My monitor turns off when I set the graphics card ATI X1550 to anything higher than basic VGA mode. Any ideas?

The screen first goes blank as if its to apply new settings, and then it turns off after about 5 seconds. It's a new system I've put together. I've installed the motherboard drivers, and everything else works fine. The graphics card is Gecube X1550 128mb PCI-E. I've downloaded and installed the drivers for it from their web site, and they are the right drivers. Am I not doing something right, or is it a faulty graphics card?

1. New monitor. It simply can't take the resolution of the graphics card you are using
2. Have a look at the Troubleshooting section of the graphics card manual or check out the Q&A secion at ATI's website.
3. this is bad drivers, delete and redownload and install too many burger flippers answering hardware questions
