I'm quite certain that simply installing FreeBSD won't fry your monitor. _After_ FreeBSD is installed and working, you may want to set up the XFree86 window system. That _could_ fry your monitor if you tell it to use frequencies higher than your monitor can handle. Disclaimer: Don't hold me accountable for anything that happens to your system.
