Hi,

Please do try these troubleshooting steps that may help.
- Start by connecting your laptop onto an external monitor and see if the same problem will persist or not.
- If it does try to uninstall/reinstall the graphics card driver of your laptop.
- Go to Device Manager and uninstall the graphics driver.
- Do also check Programs and Features and uninstall anything related to your graphics card.
- Next is to download and install the latest driver from the manufacturers site.
- Once installed reboot your laptop for all the changes to take effect.
- Do check if the same problem will persist after the reboot.

first go into the display options and check the resolution it is using... Just choose different options until it is displaying at the right dimensions.
