Too high screen resolution - cause damage? [duplicate]

Does increasing “Screen refresh rate” damage monitors?
I accidentally put the resolution of my screen to high and it caused my graphics driver to crash and had to reinstall my external display's driver again.
I wondered if putting the resolution too high can cause physical damage to the screen?
Solution 1:
not the resolution but the refresh rate (if set too high) can cause damage to the display.
Solution 2:
To a CRT, possibly. To an LCD, not as far as I've ever heard.
Edit: Broam and Molly are absolutely correct, inappropriate refresh rate is what can pop a CRT, not resolution (call to fork() failed
). Still, AFAIK, neither will do anything to an LCD.
