Boot into save mode (Press F8 after POST tests) Then you can reset the resolution.
You might need to install the latest video driver. Also make sure that you have the refresh rate set correctly for the monitor.
CRTs should run at 75 Hz or 85 Hz to prevent flicker.
LCDs do not flicker and run best at 60 Hz.
Check your monitor specifications for the highest resolution supported at these refresh rates.

Try booting up your computer by pressing the F8 key and going into SAFE MODE. Then, go in and change the display mode back:) That should do it for you:)
