I had a problem like that, I was given this help and it worked.
press alt+ F2
 in the box that appears type
gksudo displayconfig-gtk
run
were it says plug n play click on it and try to find your monitor and set the rez that you wont, or just set the rez with it still on plug n play, set the hz as well. that will depend on your monitor, IE, CRT or LCD.

mine for example in set at plug n play 1024x768 at 50hz
it seems to work okay
if it goes black, don't panic it will come back if you don't accept the setting it take about 5-6 second. so just wait, then try a different setting.
hope this helps you
regards Neil
