Monitor: Out of range error

k.digennaro · 10-12-2008, 04:51 PM

Alright I accidentally turned the resolution on my monitor all the way up..... causing it to go "out of range" I tried rebooting the computer, and tried safe mode, but I cant get into safe mode either. All I get is "Out of Range".

I read a few posts on other forums with people having this problem, the solution was to go into safe mode and fix it in all the ones i saw. But i cant get into safe mode... what should i do?

Thanks,
Kevin

Edit:

Things I tried:

Unplugging the monitor then resetting it.

Booting in safe mode.

Tried Navigating to the display settings without seeing the screen.

you could try taking the monitor to someone you know with a pc and resetting it on theirs, a local pc shop might help you out.

hmm good idea, ill try resetting it on my dads pc, but i think its the settings the computer has for the monitor, and not the monitors settings

i'm not sure if a restore will work but you should be able to do a restore by hitting f10 or f11 and selecting repair your computer then system restore without the need for disk.
