The higher rez modes run at different sync rates than the
normal VGA. If your monitor is not equipped to handle these
rates, don't use these modes! Apparently, some monitors can
be damaged -  I guess by overheating. Anyway, If you get
the narrow band on the screen, either do a MODE CO80 or
ctl-alt-del to get out before the smoke curls up.
