    Can you show us a picture showing the problem? Does it also happen if you go into the BIOS? It sounds like a Windows driver issue, but it is best if we can pin it down more.

    Wow, that is a great screenshot of something I've never seen before! :) I assume it doesn't happen in the BIOS screens, just when Windows is loaded? It is most likely a problem with the video drivers. Try removing the video drivers in Device Manager then rebooting without reinstalling first. If you come up with a normal screen try letting Windows look for updated drivers instead of installing the ones from the Acer support site. Report back please...

    So now that we know it's not a hardware problem... :) Bring up Device Manager and choose the display adapters. There are two probable things you will see there at this point. Either the OS has repopulated it with the old driver, using better settings or it has it set to Basic Display Adapter. You can force the OS to go out on the internet to look for newer drivers by bringing up properties, selecting the Driver tab and choosing the Update Driver option.
