If by "resolution issue" you mean an incorrect choice of refresh rate that the 
monitor cannot cope with, then if you read the section of the on-line
documentation indicated it should be clear from the text ("If you installed
support for a high-resolution display adapter and your system will not restart 
[...]") that it isn't talking about refresh rate problems, either.   It is
talking about the case where the system does not actually restart, not the
situation where the system _does_ restart but the display on the monitor is
unreadable.
