Guys, really need your help. I downloaded metro 2033 from steam tonight as I fancied playing something new and it has completely screwed my pc. Now I have components which should technically be "optimal settings". 16g ram, quad core processor and a dual graphics card with standalone gpu.
So, I boot the game and my screen goes blank and then my monitor gives me the message "out of range", a message usually reserved for when you try and crank the graphics too much. So I alt+f4 and shut down the system but on restart I get the same message and it won't even let me look at windows. I can however start and view in safe mode.
Any ideas on how I can get my computer back?

Unplug the GFX card, boot using onboard and changed the settings of the graphics card?

Instead of Safe Mode use Enable VGA mode change resolution in display properties and reboot
