Signal out of range message at boot time
I have gone through all the posts and I am pretty sure I know how to fix it, but I can't seem to be able to get to a prompt.
I see GRUB loading and then nothing from that point forward. Immediately after post I see a flashing cursor in the upper left corner. A few seconds later the monitor displays a message saying signal out of range. No keystrokes at any point give me access to a login prompt. I'm not sure what to do at this point.
I installed 16.04 and 17.10 with the same result.
boot grub2 monitor

At first you should determine specification of your monitor - especially its native resolution.
Then you can adjust it manually in configuration file.
Try the following:
- press Shift during boot to access GRUB menu
in GRUB press e, then
- add
nomodesetto the end oflinuxline OR - add
vga=795(1280x1024, see other options here) to the end oflinuxline
- add
then hit Ctrl+x or F10 to boot.
Remember good value of vga= and then place it in /etc/default/grub:
GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash vga=795"
Then execute sudo update-grub and reboot.
