no i didn't just get a geforce 7950x2..lol who has it anyway... My story starts like this.(take in mind i have windows xp and a a geforce 6800xt x2 right) now i was on the desktop,i right clicked and then went into properties,settings,then clicked advanced,then i went into nvidia software reslutions(for the gpu,not my monitor) and it was at 1024 x 768,and i changed it to ..... x 1500 or something liek that and my monitor instantly went black,saying attention,out of range..lol,not it's not funni... ok the whole day i been rining up to find out how to solve this,so this store i rand said i should press f8 when it's starting up,and then select my master hdd and then press f8 again and then i did that and started my in safe mode,now their was an image on my pc,then i quickly did a system restore..whoot...then i restarted my pc,and whoopy,it works again...lol i was so lucky,if my dad found out....
By default, windows has the box that comes up after changing screen res with "Your desktop has been reconfigured, do you want to keep it?". You can press escape instead of using the mouse to click on yes or no (ie, since you couldn't see anything, because you're video settings went out of the range of the monitor) and it will revert back to the original/working res.
yes this is true,and went threw my head,but that only applies when changing resolutions with the monitor,if i change the resolution using nforce,aka teh signal that the graphics card outputs,then no message comes up,it just instantly goes black.
WOW URE THE LUCKIEST MAN ALIVE WOA I WISH I WAS THAT LUCKY btw thats not luck thats pure noobism next thing u know maybe u have 2 video cards but u havent enabled sli!
If you're using an LCD screen, you shouldn't have the resolution outside of its native anyways. (quality suffers)
Jallan said: That holds true only if you are using a digital cable for the connection. It doesn't hold true if it is connected with an analog cable.
people shouldn't be using an LCD with analog RGB unless they like artifacts. Digital -> Analog -> Digital = artifacts.
