    Screen is black except a small strip at the top (Pictures)


    I don't go on my Pc very often since its quite old and slow. I have a laptop so I only really need to go on my Pc when I wanna play one of my Steam games or something.

    I set it up earlier with the intention of trying to speed it up a bit when I had a pop up telling me nvidia wanted updating so I clicked yes. The update failed and made my screen go weird (Screen was smaller and the little preview windows weren't coming up on the task bar) so I figured I'd turn it off and on again before trying a system restore.

    Now it's on the password screen except I can only see this thin line at the top of the screen. The windows startup bit is fine and shows, but nothing after its working. I tried starting in safe mode and even managed to type my password in but nothing helped.





    Any ideas on how to fix this?

    Hook the monitor up to your laptop, see if it works ok.
