I suspect you have an "out of frequency" error on your hands.
In case my suspicion is correct, i might have a fix for that.

If you have an Nvidia Graphic card you should be able to follow this little guide, which might fix the problem. If you don't have one, or don't know what graphic card you have, you can still try.

Right click on you desktop and click on
"properties". This will open the display properties.
Now click on the right-most tab (i suspect it is called "settings").
The next thing you need to do is click on the button shown in the "click here" screenshot.
A new window will open. Go to the tab named after your graphic card.
Select "Refresh Rates Overrides" as shown in the second screenshot.
Set them to "override refresh rates".
Now set the "Refresh Rate" for the resolution you are playing on to whatever your monitor can handle. Chose 60Hz if unsure.

I used a lot of "if"'s here, because i cannot guarantee you that it will work.
Your problem never happened to me, so i am just guessing.
