you might want to uninstall the video driver,

run Driver Sweeper Program, see link here: http://www.guru3d.com/category/driversweeper/

and then reinstall the video card drivers again.

Hope this helps  :)

Hope it works for you, it did for me when I was having video card drivers and I use it when new video card driver upgrades are available :)

maybe you want to try installing an older driver to see if that fixes your problem? Then you can get it updated later.

after you start the laptop, do you see anything intelligible? Like a logo or startup screen? Or is is garbled with lines right when you turn it on?
