I have been running an external monitor off of my laptop for some time now. I unplugged my laptop to watch a movie on my tv with it. When I plugged the laptop back into the monitor after watching the movie, I have problems with the image. There is a section of the image that shifts to the left (the whole width of the monitor but only .5 inches thick) for a split second. It does this every few seconds in a different position everytime. It is hard to explain.

I know it is the video card and not the monitor or the cable. I tried using a different monitor and it did the same thing. The laptop screen works fine, the problem is only with external graphics output. I restarted everything... no luck. I reinstalled the driver and it seemed to fix it for a while, then it started again. When I adjust the settings using the nvidia driver software, the whole screen shifts. This is why i believe it is a software problem. When booting windows, the screen is fine; the problem only occurs after the OS is booted.

I'm not sure what to do. I've heard maybe I should try flashing the BIOS????? If anyone has any ideas, please let me know. Please and Thank you
