Blank screen after changing 3d settings
Hi I was tweaking my settings to try and get a good balance between quality and gameplay and enabled 3d on my 9600GT card, now I have a 100% blank monitor, no bios, no loading screen. The lights come on on the monitor as usual when it starts, all fans etc are working. How can I reset it?

Sounds to me like the resolution is out of range resulting in a blank screen. I think that you can simply unplug the monitor and plug it another output on the GPU. I think that the settings that you applied will only apply to the current output. I know when I start my computer, windows switches back and forth between low resolutions until it finally sees and applies my desktop settings. Do you have a second Display connected? If so your windows log in screen is probably on it. Turn it on, log in, then make any necessary desktop adjustments.

Only one monitor and I don't have a spare compatible video card to change it back. So annoyed with myself but I can't believe there's no way to access bios, start in safe mode etc? :(
