fd3 won't boot after changing display resolution

Sorry about previous post.  I realized I didn't change the subject after
I already sent the post.  I am also thinking that since the motherboard
is new, do I need to reinstall the driver for the video card?  If so,
how can I do this if I can't even boot the machine?  The driver is on a
different machine on our network.  Below is my previous post that will
explain exactly what is wrong.
