pc screen before start up

[poppy]

hi,i have a question , a friend was having trouble with her pc and tried to
sort it out herself, somewhere along the line it went wrong and now the
screen shows this when the pc is switched on but BEFORE windows is
started,it is white and has these numbers- 30KHz 60HZ, then it changes to-
48KHz 72Hz- 64KHz 60Hz,i went to hers today and got her windows up and
running again but having never seen this before , was wondering if anyone
could tell me what it means and how i can fix it,im probably wrong but im
thinking along the lines of the screen resolution, but having never come
across this before im not sure, thank you all very much
