Changed screen res settings to TV via HDMI, now crashes the computer.

I have a TV that I've been connecting to my PC (Windows 7) via HDMI as a second monitor. Ever since I first plugged it in it's worked fine although the resolution has looked a little weird.

The weirdness got to me, so I pulled up the screen resolution settings on my computer and tried setting different resolutions. I hit "Apply" to test one and both screens began flickering and then I got a blue screen.

Now whenever I plug the TV back in to the PC, the monitor flickers, I see a warning message in the bottom right pop up (something about a driver being successfully restarted or something - sorry, hard to read while the screen is flickering), and it crashes.

I'd be totally fine getting it back to how it was before I meddled, but I just want it working again. Any thoughts? I can provide further info about the TV and such if necessary, but I'm inclined to believe this is a more generic issue.

Thank you so much!
