Sounds like there is some kind of graphics issue, but I'm sure you gathered that. I don't know anything about the 5500 series, so I'm not likely to be of any use...

i am not sure if it is graphics related. By holding down the ctrl button during windows loading up the desktop it will start properly does anyone know what this means?
