Tip: Running the Xconfig command in the terminal will allow you to 
change the available resolutions.

Appearently, your current resolution or refresh rate is set too high for 
your LCD.
To fix this, you will need to boot to ubuntu, when the screen says "Out 
of frequency" press CTRL+ALT+Delete
type Xconfig
follow the onscreen instructions

Correct me if im wrong
