Hey guys,
I'm the one that's been on these last couple of days alot
trying to fix my computer problem - the one where I set
my resolution to a different setting and my screen went
blank with a "Out of Range" message in the middle.
Remember, I couldn't get out of the hybernation process
so I couldn't get into safe mode to change the settings..
WELL, I got out of the hybernation process by pressing F8
on startup (instead of the usual menu a different
hybernation one comes up) and I chose to "skip data
restore and go to system boot". So then I was up normally
(yet still not able to see anything) I then held my power
buttom for 5 seconds to hard boot it... and it booted
normally for once!! Anyway, I finally got into that F8
menu I've been wanting to do, and chose safe mode. I went
in safe mode and changed my settings and booted up
normally - THAT didn't work. It didn't save my setting
changes and I saw the "Out of Range" screen again. I
tried hard booting again, and this time went into VGA
mode. Changed my settings there, (just the resolution
settings nothing else)but I had to let the computer
restart by itself to change the settings ("do you want
the computer to restart to change your settings"). I
couldn't manually restart the comp because it wouldn't
save. I had to let the computer do it - thats the only
way it would work. I started back up normally and -
TADA!!!! So to solve this problem - it has to be done in
VGA mode. Didnt have to uninstal video drivers, but VGA
mode is the only way it worked.

Thanks guys!

Thanks guys!
Now maybe you'll consider turning off hibernation.
