It means your screen settings in windows are too high for the monitor.
To reset them boot the computer and keep hitting F8 till you get a menu (you want to do this before windows loads). Choose safe mode.
Go to display properties (right click the desktop and choose properties). Change the setting to something small like 800x600 or 1024x768.
Shutdown and reboot. You should be able to enter windows now. Check the documentation for the monitor to see what the highest setting it supports.
Cannot Display This Video Mode
I just had this problem with a Dell Monitor and a Shuttle PC running Windows Server 2012 (I think this equates to Windows 8). I just kept pressing the F8 key during reboot and when the F8 menu comes up there is an option to enable low defenition Video. I selected this and it all booted up and monitor was then fine. Hope this helps.
