Firstly check the card is properly seated in the motherboard.

Then check the connections and monitor cable.

Then reinstall the latest drivers for your graphics card.

If this doesn’t help, can you either use a different card or try the monitor on another computer? If so, we can narrow it down to being a faulty card, or a faulty monitor.

It sounds like the refresh rate is out of the monitor’s range. Try a lower resolution and/or a lower refresh rate.
