hi
you try to run pc in safe mode. scan windows in safe made and restart it and just check it work or not?

hi
there is nothing going to work with scan disk .just check your video card driver.
there is chance of improper driver installation ..
so if you already install it then uninstall display driver restart pc
install again proper version of display driver.....
try it .
