Solution das_stig Aug 21, 2011 Sounds like a video driver. Press F8 just after bios logo and select SAFE MODE. Login as admin and uninstall current driver and you could even delete the video card from device manager. On restart, if windows can ID the video card, it may install generic drivers, if not it will install standard VGA. Upgrade with latest from manufacturers site.
