The screen said unsupported mode. I couldn't see my browser or desktop at all.
This sounds like an issue with swtor trying to use a resolution that the monitor doesn't seem very happy with and resulted in a black screen and ended up hitting the power button to restart the PC because you cant see anything, what i ended up doing is either changing the resolution in the swtor config file or deleting it all together and restarting the game which will create a new config file but you will need to readjust the in-game graphics once you are able to play xD

unfortunately this likely ( like very doubtful ) that will help here, this is EDID issues and it seems to be a day for them
This one is on the worst side of things and where he is at , at present is hard to recover from with the settings in the registry , a system restore will get him back to square one but not sort the cause. Inplace repair is the next best option , but then it still leaves the underlaying cause.
Changing monitor is the simplest solution off the top of my head
