Tweaking set safe mode resolution too high
Boggin:
No, I don't but I'll pass this onto Shane.
Now that you are back to "out of range", can you boot into the advanced boot options to select Last Known Good Configuration ?
SFSecurity:
I have no idea how to do that since I can not see anything on the screen.
Oddly enough on another computer that is my backup with almost nothing on it, when I went to set the resolution the maximum the setup would allow was 1600x900 (if I recall correctly) but then, on its own, it reset to the best one for the monitor, 1920x1080. Amazing, I just wish my main computer would do that.
Boggin:
I was just wondering if tapping F8 (usually) as you switch on would get you anything as to a degree, you were getting better than no signal.
SFSecurity:
No, after yanking the CMOS battery it went back to connecting to the monitor. F8 brings up the menu with both regular and safe mode choices. With "Start Windows Normally" it then gives the message. It doesn't matter which safe mode one chooses, it goes to the message which lists the OS, the CPU cores, the amount of memory and that it is going to boot to safe mode with minimal services and network and then goes to "out of range".
Boggin:
Do you get the option for Last Known Good Configuration to try ?
