A standard refresh rate is 65Hz (which is what Safe Mode uses) so I don't
know anyone who cannot use it. Of course they may not like the horrible
'flickering' but the solution in that case is to get a better CRT.

Just a WAG, but reset your monitor refresh rate to
something a couple of steps BELOW what you have now. I
was at 85 Hz and had all kinds of wrrors on two cards I
know to be good. So far, when set to 72 Hz, I have no
problems with either.

Of course, not everybody can us a lower refresh rate
effectively, but this might help diagnose your problem.
