oh, fucking with the graphics settings
a while back on my friend's pc (that he had built himself and was rather ghetto) i was going to change the resolution to a better setting to show him how the monitor was made to look best on a smaller res than he was using, and saw that the settings could go way past 1024x768. i'm talking like 3584x2688, and this was a monitor that came with a computer from way back that came with 95. it wasn't a good monitor. needless to say the screen went blank and instead of hitting nothing and letting it revert to the old settings someone spazzed on the keyboard and we were scuck with it. then, attempting to fix it somehow he ended up just completely fucking over the copmuter for good.
graphics settings are serious business |
I remember installing a graphics card on a mates PC once. After I was done, I went into the display options to change the screen resolution and noticed there was a setting for a resolution of 4x3. After pondering for a couple of minutes, and thinking it would just revert back after the usual 15 seconds or so, curiosity got the better of me.
BIG FUCKING MISTAKE.
6 hours, 2 formats and a bios flash later and we're back in business. My mate was NOT a happy bunny.
