Try pressing F8 before the Windows logo shows up. Now choose VGA Mode
and it should boot up so you can see everything. If VGA Mode still
doesn't work, you can do the same thing and choose Safe Mode instead.
This will allow you to change the resolution/refresh rate settings.

Just a note, when you change a resolution to something unsupported, just
wait 15 seconds and it should revert back.
