What resolutions do the monitor supports?

Maybe it is in a aspect ratio too modern for Mac  OS 9
Looking for MacOS 9.2.4

Looks like your monitor control panel is set to a higher resolution than the monitor supports.
The easiest way is to connect a monitor that can handle the current setting and reduce it to a value that fits the (now) failing monitor.
With only a single monitor you may boot without a monitor connected, shut off manually and the reboot again with monitor. Usually this clears the setting and the control panel is reset to the lowest resolution. Then choose the proper setting according to the monitor's specs.
