Screen goes blank after changing the resolution in settings

Asked By Julius C Diaz 10 points N/A Posted on - 05/26/2015

The screen of my old CRT monitor goes black all the time since the time I changed the resolution to higher one. I can see the initial Boot messages, and also the logo of windows in the beginning, but as soon as it logs in, the screen goes black and never recovers. Why not the processor does detect this? The only way is to hard shut down by holding the power button or to remove the supply of CPU. How to restore the old settings back? I do not have any other PCs other this old desktop. How to operate with blank screen?
