Hello coolcurrent;

When you boot up in Safe Mode what does the screen look like then?

 

[AntiZig]

what resolution are you running at and what is your monitor rated for?

 

[coolcurrent]

when i boot up in safe mode, the screen looks ok. Out of curiosity of a possible bad driver, i reformatted the laptop . it looks ok at the default 640 x 480 screen resolution, when i boot up. But when i change the resolution to anything higher, the problem at the onset appears. when i revert back to 640 x 480 screen resolution,, the creen looks ok again.

so am guessing its driver issue. where can i get the drivers for insyde cs553x

manufacturer's website, support section

 

[coolcurrent]

can you kindly point me to a link for that

 

[AntiZig]

honestly, no I cannot, because you've never told us what brand the computer is.

insyde is a software company

on the body of the laptop is written Omatek, but whe i do systeminfo in command prompt, i see
system manufacturer: insyde
system model = cs553x___

I think insyde was at one time also in the laptop business but got out.
Did you ask Windows to look for a new driver?

I'd also be interested in knowing how the screen looks in some of the other available resolutions like 800x600, 1024x768, etc.

Looks like the company is in Nigeria and you can try contacting them for support

otherwise download a program called Everest it will be able to tell you the board manufacturers and such so you can grab manufacturer drivers

 

[coolcurrent]
