You changed resolution to a mode that your monitor cannot handle.
Restart in Safe Mode; to do this (in Windows), restart the computer, and press F8 before you see the windows logo. You may need to press it several times.
You should get a menu, and one of the choices is "Boot computer in safe mode". Boot in safe mode, then once your computer is booted, change the resolution to 640x480, then shut down and reboot again (returning to normal mode). You can then set the resolution and colors back to where you want them (and where they work).
It will be blank..nothing is saved to your moniter.
A computer can not turn off by itself. The monitor just turns blank it you leave it. To turn off the computer you have to prees the on button on your computer. If you press the botton on the monitor it is not turning the computer off... just the screen.
Try this, find another computer and hook the monitor onto it, see if it's blank then.What to do:1) If the monitor is not blank then your other computer probably needs a video driver (need help on this? ask another question and I will try to answer you) ORYour graphics card might be burnt out and you might need to purchase a new one.2) If the monitor is still blank, try to obtain another vga cable(the blue plug thing), if still blank go buy a new monitor**Hope this helps would be able to help you better if i know any previous symptoms or was there next to your computer. Good luck!
Go to a computer specialist!
That would be your screensever.
For a several reason,1. The monitor doesn't support the desktop resolution that Windows provide.2. The monitor doesn't support the refresh rate that Windows provide.3. The graphic card settings appear to be unsupported by your monitor.4. The monitor maybe unrecognized by Windows, and needs drivers installed.Try booting Windows on the safe mode, tweak monitor settings on control panel, or desktop properties, try the lowest resolution (800x600), and refresh rate (60 Hertz).
I would begin by trying a different monitor that you know works. My second step would be to check the video card make sure that it is firmly seated in its slot. Also if you have one available try the monitor on a different computer. This would help eliminate either the computer or the monitor as the problem. Hope this helps and lots of luck been there done that, hated it.

Hardware and software - without either one, there would be no computer! A simplistic answer would be the motherboard and hard-drive, though without an operating system the monitor would be blank.
I need help pls
Gulf of Tonkin Resolution
the resolution is probably set to hi....when you turn on your computer hit f8 over and over until you see a screen with some options...select safe mode and then when windows loads left click on your mouse select properties then change your resolution lower..
