"Mode not suppported" -How to reset resolution?

sehcure · 29 Dec 2011 at 21:33

Messing around with the resolution and now I cant change it back from the unsupported resolution it is stuck on.
It somehow changed the safe mode resolution aswell, so I can't change it through that. (Just says mode not supported)

On a old samsung le19r71b tv, with a geforce gt120 gfx card.

How can I reset it?? I cant get past the windows 7 boot loading thingy before it goes black screened with the message.

Typing this from my phone!

Press F8 on boot to bring up Advanced Boot Options, then it's the 5th or6th option down (IIRC), which is Enable Low Resolution Video (640x480) and go from there

F8 brings up boot order? :/ Would you suggest i I other buttons until I find the one?

I think you're pressing it too soon.

Let the BIOS get towards the end of the POST process and then hammer F8 just before Windows starts to load.

Tried leaving it later and it just runs normally (showing regular safe mode options as I have to turn it off via the holding down the power button due to no screen to shut down normally....)

Eh

To get launch options I hold f8 before I boot and keep holding it until you hear the motherboard beep and release, otherwise I just get safe mode options
