says:All these solutions rely on your ability to see your monitor. If you load up the wrong resolution and your screen goes blank, there is no hotkey to get you to Safe Mode. The workaround would be to false start the pc until you get a message asking you if you want to access ~safemode. It doesn’t say that, but it comes close. Accept the argument and go to safe mode. Once you’re in, make the corrections to your resolution, or accept the default until you get back to normal and you are done.
