bad sync on an out-of-the-box server?

I just built a brand new system with a flar I built on another identical
box. (V150, Solaris 9, real live monitor & keyboard). It builds just fine
and reboots normally. But when it starts the GUI login at the end of bootup,
the server locks. The monitor says something like the sync is not supported
and the server hangs. It is so hung so badly that a Stop-A will not even
kill the box. It must be powercycled.

I tried another monitor. On this one the system boots up normally, but
when it starts the GUI the monitor goes black and the LED on it goes from
green to amber (power, but no signal).

The flar was built from a system that works fine and from a system that is
the identical hardware for both the server and the monitor. Does anyone
have a suggestion as to why this box freezes when it goes to GUI?

Thanks, and of course I will summarize.
