I was working on my computer last night and I thought my display settings
were a little big. So I went to the graphics display icon on the bottom
taskbar (right beside the time) and right clicked on it to change my display
settings (in true color) from 1152 x 864 to 1280 x 720. I have done this a
million times before but for some reason something happened this time.
As soon as I clicked on the 1280 x 720 option from the menu, my screen went
blank and all there was, was a little blue box in the middle that says "Out
of Range". I could not do anything from that screen. No mouse, no
keyboard... nothing. I tried everything but I could not get out. I rebooted
my computer and it still didn't work because when it is supposed to go to
the blue Welcome screen, all I would get is that "Out of Range" screen. I
unplugged and replugged my monitor, it still didn't work. So I called some
computer people and they said to press F8 in start up and start my computer
in safe mode so that I can change the settings. But when I press F8, the
usual menu didn't come up. This is pretty much what came up.
"System restart has been paused:
Continue with System Restart
Skip system restart and proceed to System Boot"
Those are the only two options. Both do the same thing and go to the "Out of
Range" screen. I have pressed DEL to go into settings during start up and I
can't find anything there. I have to reboot my computer everytime. I can't
get through the "Out of Range" screen. I guess the display settings I wanted
just didn't work. But now I can't get it back. I can't even start my
computer in safe mode.
Do you have any idea what I can do?
