Every time I reboot my pc.
It comes to the thingy when i have to enter my Password.
And then it says No Signal, or Signal out of range and like after ten times of rebooting it finally works.
Anyone knows how to solve it?

Make sure the resolution and refresh rate you have set on the monitor and in Windows is supported by the monitor (check the manual). Also check the monitor cable in the back of your PC, it might be loose.

Normally when it says out of range it means u set a resolution that your screen cant handle, try scaling it down then reboot and see if you get the error again

yeah boot into safe mode and then fix your display resolution. also make sure the monitor cable is seated firmly into your vid card.

I'd reinstall the graphics drivers, and do some general maintenance on the graphics card.

The idea of any hi-fi system is to reproduce the source material as faithfully as possible, and to deliberately add distortion to everything you hear (due to amplifier deficiencies) because it sounds 'nice' is simply not high fidelity. If that is what you want to hear then there is no problem with that, but by adding so much additional material (by way of harmonics and intermodulation) you have a tailored sound system, not a hi-fi. - Rod Elliot, ESP

yeah that's what I'd do. I would also run memtest just to be sure.

How about the computer? Maybe your power supply or mobo isn't up to running your card.

I would suggest testing your power supply, there have been reviews on New Egg about these going bad or being DOA.

Moist. Niek, Try reformatting your computer, and before you install any drivers, update your bios to the latest version. There should be a program on the disk that came with your mobo called '@bios' and you can use this to install later versions of your bios.

Initially my 4870 didn't work on my P45 mobo, but after doing what I just said it worked fine.
