You need to reinstall your video driver.

Check that you can't get the display out of 16 colours first, and if it is stuck....

As seawatch says, reinstall video adapter driver.

START - SETTINGS - CONTROL PANEL - SYSTEM - DEVICE MANAGER - click the + sign next to the display adapter. Highlight the videocard
shown, then select PROPERTIES - DRIVER - UPDATE DRIVER.
