Vertical dot lines appear ONLY on acer logo bootup screen. Next appears "we apologize for the inconvience, but windows did not start successfully" black screen giving different booting options:
safemode
safemode with networking
safemode with command prompt
last known good configuration
start windows normally
tried all options but keep restarting.
