Tweaking set safe mode resolution too high

<< < (2/8) > >>

Boggin:
I don't have a desktop to compare and a laptop has very little under Advanced.

Have you tried a cold boot where you shutdown, remove the power cable and hold the power switch on for about 30 secs.

Also can you boot into the advanced boot options to select Last Known Good Configuration.

You could also check to see if it will boot up in Safe Mode with Networking to open the repair program and see if the Registry Restore option will get you back.

Click on Backup Tools - Restore under Registry Backup - Restore Registry - use the dropdown to select the dated back up then hit Restore now.

Akkk! Even worse. I tried the 4 versions of the video driver listed and three of them had the same problem, but the fourth doesn’t even activate the monitor at all so I cannot see to get into the BIOS anymore.

SFSecurity:
Yes, I tried the cold boot, just now and last night, no results. No clue what to do next.

I just tried my older 17” monitor and it says “no signal “.

Boggin:
I'm just wondering if removing the graphics card and refitting after cleaning the pins would help - is it plug and play or do you have to install drivers for it ?

I've never owned a desktop.

SFSecurity:
I can’t remove the card as it is part of the motherboard. However, I was able to get it to reset the BIOS to one that works by removing the CMOS battery and making sure all power was drained.

That done I’m back to “out of range.” I suspect that is why that is true is because Tweaking created a file that is in the pathway of the boot process so to fix it I need to find and remove it.

Do you have any idea what the file name might be and where it’s located?

Thanks
