i did a google search on that error, and all of the hits point towards the refresh rate of your graphics adapter.  i don't understand why you get this only when inserting a cd, unless they are game cd's that are maybe adjusting your video settings automatically.  When the message "Out of Scan Range" appears on the monitor it is alerting the user to the fact that the settings in Display Properties are not supported by the installed video card. Specifically, the refresh rate entered is out of the range offered by the card.I'd try adjusting your refresh rate.  read your monitor manual and see what it supports.
