After switching to Extended Desktop mode so i could set my new monitor to a higher resolution, my laptop screen went all blue. Why would this be?

I would need more information in regards to your system configuration:

Which version of Windows do you have?

Also, the exact processor model and the graphics controller:

Click the Windows icon, and then right-click Computer .

Select Properties .

Find System Type on the Properties window, and then note the processor model.

Can you send a screen shot of the graphics control panel? Multi monitor settings picture would be great.

See the link below for information about multi monitor configuration:
