Qosmio F10: Monitor screen looks like an Andy Warhol picture

I am currently having problems with my monitor screen looking like an Andy Warhol picture. I have resorted to going through the Product Recovery DVD-ROM for my Qosmio F10/G10 Laptop in the hope that reverting it back to the factory settings would solve the problem but it hasn't.
The screen breaks down after the Windows welcome screen, leaving me with my desktop all Andy Warhol like (i.e. blocks of pixilated colour at the edges of the graphics). I have tried to reset the resolution which solves the problem to an almost acceptable level but on a temporary basis, because the problem re-appears again when I re-boot the laptop.
I think that it is something to do with the Windows Multimedia Operating system that was preinstalled on my computer (so no recovery disc). The reasoning behind this assumption is that I put a DVD film into the Multimedia that is part of Windows XP and the film is a moving Andy Warhol video.
I put the same DVD into the WinDVD that came as a Toshiba additional content and the DVD is perfect! My reasoning is, that if there was something wrong with the hardware of the Laptop, then all DVD reading programs would react the same way, but as they do not, it must be a programming (or operating system problem).
Am I on the right lines? Is there a way to solve the problem via a downloadable file?

Thanks guys for your replies, sorry if my question is confusing, but I couldn't think of any other way of describing it without the use of a screen dump to show you.
At the moment I haven't got another monitor to try, even though this looks as though it would have been the easiest option. I shall start asking round to see if I can borrow one to eliminate that variable.
However I will try to reinstall and to update "Graphic Drivers" to get rid out of this display problem.
Thanks to all.

    If the Safe Area settings are OK then it's well a settings issue in either the DVD player or TV or both.

  • Does Apple make a monitor that looks like the iMac27, for dual monitor setup?

    I'm thinking about buying an iMac, but I'm used to a multiple monitor setup. Does Apple make a monitor that looks like the iMac27, for dual monitor setup?

    Look at these links.

  • IPod 4th gen has lots of lines over screen looks like bar codes and can't see display?

    My step sons iPod I just a year old but for about 3 months it's been coming up with lots of lines on screen looks like bar code. Now he can't see anything on screen due to his. He has not been on it for a while as he has a 2nd one from his mum but I forgot to check this out before warranty ran out.
    I have tried system re boot, I thought it was due to him charging it with USB on xbox360.
    Can someone please help

    - Try restoring the iPod from backup.
    - If not successful then restore to factory defaults/new iPod

  • HP mini 210-2145DX screen looks like a negative and i cant restore it

    my laptops screen looks like a picture negative. can anyone help me fix this problem

    Hi veekey4. Let me know if the display looks the same in Safe Mode: Start your computer in safe mode
    If it does look the same in safe mode, try a hard reset, as outlined in this document: Performing a Hard Reset or Forced Reset
    If that does not resolve the issue, try restoring your BIOS: Restoring the BIOS
    Let me know if this helps.
    If those steps do not resolve the issue, it is likely a hardware failure. In that case you can contact HP Support to find out your repair options. HP technical support: 800-474-6836. If you live outside the US/Canada Region please click the link <HERE> to get the support number for your region.

  • Screen looks like it is too big to fit ipad 1

    Screen looks like it is too big to fit ipad 1. Can only see part of the perimeter, icons along edge are showing 20%. Running the latest software update, it has been sycned and rebooted. Whats next?

    It's in the General>Accessibility page in settings.  If on, you may have double-tapped with three fingers, as James suggests.  If you don't want this feature, turn it off.

    my screen looks like a green mesh has been placed over it. It is nearly illegible and comes and goes. Nothing I do can remove it.  Does anyone have a remedy?

    You have a hardware problem and the only people/place that can fix that is an Apple store or AARP.
    So take it into your nearest Apple store or AARP.

  • IMac screen looked like old PC

    When I turned my iMac (with 10.8.4) on this morning, the screen was black background and white letters.  Looked like the old IBM PC's where you had to type all kind of cryptic messages to get the darn thing to work. (Hooray for the Mac mouse!) 
    Yes, I read the stuff but it meant nothing to me and gave me no hint of the problem or what to do.  I hit my on button on back of my monitor, held it down until it went off, waited a short time, started it up again and it was ok.
    What was that!???  Will it happen again?  Is it a sign of an impending problem?  What can/should, I do, if anything?
    Rose

    Hi Rose,
    The iMac had for some reason restarted and gone into single user mode, or safe mode...to know why would take a listing of exactly what the messages said that were on the screen.  This could have been associated with a power outage or surge, but usually iMacs just restart when that happens.
    If it is booted correctly now and working properly, just keep an eye on it and if it happens again, write down exactly what the messages say and post them here.  Someone can then help diagonse what is happening.
