Hi
I have a major problem, which none have been able to help me with, so I desided to try here.
Short resume
When my laptop boots my monitor looks like picture 1, after the boot-sequence have shown the windows loader my monitor looks like picture 3 and I haven’t been able to make it show the black and stretched parts.
My laptop's specifications
Nvidia 8600M GT, 512 mb ram 475 MHz and 950 MHz.
Intel Due Core2 2.4 GHz
4096 MB DDR2 PC2-5300 333 MHz
Chipset Intel PM965
According to CPU-Z motherboard:
Manufacturer: Zepto | Model: IFL90 | Bios: Compal 1.12
Detailed description of the problem
When my laptop boots (the one I'm writing on currently) it shows six identical displays on screen, which I tried to illustrate with the picture below.
Picture 1, the resolution and setup of the six identical displays while booting. This is only an illustration, but I really tried to make it look the same.
I most emphasize that this displays is right at the start, meaning that even the bios setup looks like the picture above. Afterwards everything will continue to be displayed in these six identical displays, until the boot-sequence reaches the windows loader, illustrated below.
Picture 2, the Windows loader, but I still see six displays with that picture.
Right after that my screen goes completely black, until I close and open the lid (if I do it too fast, it doesn’t work). Then this screen appears:
Picture 3, another illustration of what I see. The resolution of the “normal” part of the pictures is 1024x764 and the complete picture with the black and stretched parts is 1280x800.
The resolutions in picture 3 are used because my monitor should be built for 1280x800, but when I look in my nvidia setup it say; the resolution is 1024x768, no higher resolutions are able and of course I see those black and stretched parts.
Even though my screen displays everything from games to movies normal within the “normal” parts of the display, the coloring of the stretched part changes and it’s pretty in general annoying.
Attempts to fix it
I tried reinstalling my nvidia-driver several times, even after uninstalling it. I tried formatting and reinstalling, which had no effect. I tried reinstalling my chipset driver and resetting bios.
Now to the biggest ah heck of all, the company which sold me the laptop has filed for bankruptcy and I can’t get any drivers from there and more importantly I afraid bios updating could ruin what is left of my laptop if I take the wrong.
Conclusion
I have had this problem in like 6 mouths and haven’t been able to do anything about it, but the screen have randomly sometimes been completely normal and in some periods I figured out methods that seemed to make it more likely to become completely normal. But all these methods eventually stopped working.
I don’t know what to do, please help me
