Maybe this will help.
You don't have to go through all this. The easiest way to do it is to restart and while restarting hold F8 and in the startup menu choose vga mode. In there you can get the resolution back to normal. After that just restart normally and that's it.

Hope it helps.
Also you could have switched to onboard graphics somehow and you may have to disable them, or delete drivers, Take out gpu and then reinstall the gpu with new drivers.
