I was installing software on another computer today and was getting tired of the 800x600 resolution. So I updated the resolution to 1280x720 and hit ok without testing the resolution.
Turns out that the monitor didn't support the frequency I was using and gave me a black screen stating such. Since I don't have the keystrokes memorized to change the resolution back, I had to turn off the box and march it to my computer and attatch it to my monitor. After resetting everything on my bigger screen I got back to what I was doing.
So don't just hit ok, use the test button instead.
