Hi,

to me this sounds like the monitor is having difficulty displaying the output from the graphics card.

Have you recently changed the display settings in Windows?

If you can try and boot into safe mode, and make sure that the graphics card drivers are up to date, and that the settings are correct.

Failing that, try using a different monitor and boot Windows as usual, then check the display settings there.

Let us know how you get on.
