    basically I have just downloaded Steam and bought Counter Strike and CS: Condition Zero from Steam as a good mate of mine has it.
    So I spent for ever and a fucking day downloading the poxy fucker.
    I open up CS and the resoloution was about 20x10
    So I changed it too 1028x960 I think it was, not too sure.
    Then all of a sudden my screen went blank and says "SIGNAL OVER RANGE!"
    Then my PC wont do anything and I have to restart it.... i.e switch the plug off and on.
    ..... WTF
    I can't even change the fucking resoloution and I haven't even played the fucking game.
    Could some one shed some light on this? Thanks

    Try manually editing the resolution option by right clicking CS in your my games tab in steam > Properties > Set launch options and putting in
    -width whatever -height whatever

    Set it to whatever your desktop is for starters.

    What Graphics Card do you have, it might not be able to run the resolution the game requires
