Yes. Restart the pc in safe mode (press F8 during boot), then when in safe mode, uninstall the video driver from device manager.

Couldn't you also plug an LCD into a digital port? Its EDID should add modes it supports...? Unless it appears as a clone, i guess.

I think this is correct as long as you haven't modded your video card with Atom-15.  In that case, you need a second video card.

You won't see the bios screens then, but once windows is up, it shouldn't matter. And if the low-res modes in the bios are crashing the LCD, just wait for the computer to load into windows first?
