Hi tino2003,

Have you tried booting into Safe Mode? If that works, it will give you
a chance to  run SFC (Start => Run => type "SFC") and check your
display properties. However, you have to think that it's probably your
video card. If you recently updated the driver, go back to the old
version; or, try updating your driver.

In Windows, what is 'Safe Mode' used for and why?
