These reasons all assume a CRT monitor. I've had similar problems both 
with CRT due to an excessive dot clock rate, and on TFT due to some 
indeterminate problem that was solved by a factory reset of the device. 
Checking that all the video signal specs are well within the bounds of 
capability of the monitor is probably the first port of call.

The TFT I use reports specs via DDI which are a range including the 
recommended refresh rate and native resolution, so I force it in 
xorg.conf for best results.
