Hello;
I was playing a full-screen game when it crashed, leaving my computer in the
games default resolution which was far too big for my own liking. I changed
the display resolution as you would normally (Properties > Settings > Screen
Resolution), the display was still looking mucked up so I chose to restart my
computer. When my computer tried to reboot, it only got as far as the XP
Loading screen and then went into a black screen and my monitors activity
light started flashing, on the black screen a blue box appeared which said
“Self Diagnostic: PC DISPLAY SETTINGS CORRECT?� – I wasn’t sure what to do
here and after only a few seconds the box goes away. Everytime I try to
reboot my computer manually this comes up and I really need to access my
computer properly.. I tried all the usual things like pressing “Y� or “Y-E-S�
or “N� and such forth, as well as “CTRL+ALT+DEL� and “ALT+F4�. I’m not
getting anywhere so I was hoping that somebody could help me out.
Somehow I managed to bypass this screen once, but I have no idea how – and,
when I restarted again later on, the same problem arose.
Thanks a lot.
