  1. How to fix a distorted and garbled laptop screen after a system BIOS update?


    When I had started my laptop,it had me install a system BIOS update.After the update was finished,I had restarted the laptop,but the home screen was completely distorted and garbled.If I had opened a certain app and closed it,the app could still be seen on the screen.I had opened advanced restart from settings,which was showing up on my screen perfectly normal.I had also tried to open safe mode,which also came out distorted.If someone can reply within the next few days,it would be great as I use this device for school and is the only device I can use at school.Thanks.

    Sudden garbled and distorted audio

    Hey guys,

    Yesterday I turned on my computer to find that the audio is all garbled and distorted. I've tried both the front and rear audio outputs, and for some reason the rear is slightly better sounding than the front, but they're both having the same issue. I've
    also checked with several pairs of headphones and speakers and it's present across all devices.

    I hadn't downloaded anything the previous time the computer was on. I've since updated my Realtek audio drivers but the issue is persisting. I have disabled sound enhancements, as was suggested for people with a similar issue to mine, but it made no difference.

    I'm running out of ideas, can anyone suggest an alternative solution?

    My PC:

    i7-5820K

    GTX 980ti

    16GB RAM

    Windows 10 Education

    Thanks

  3. Screen size does not fix.

    Since the new upgrades the screen size is too big for my 7 YR old Toshiba Laptop, which I use constantly. I Can not access the x or the scroll bar. The character's are Hugh, stretched and distorted. I have followed every single step listed in troubleshooting
    and even paid two computer techs to fix it. NOTHING WORKS! There used to be a simple one step adjustment: Settings: Display: Screen Size. Neither, Resetting, troubleshooting app, driver updates, changing to another resolution (which btw is suggested as a
    fix but non existant) nothing works. I am at wits end. The last guy I paid to fix it suggested I just buy anew unit? I can't afford that. Please please address this issue asap. Thank you

    sound distorted after windows 10 anniversary upgrade

    This is where I'm at on my HP laptop with Windows 10 and the Anniversary update.

    I completed step #3 "hardware and sound" but that took me to an option for "sound, speakers." There was no "properties" as step #4 suggests. I selected "sound, speakers" and then found "properties." After selecting "properties" there was no "enhancements
    tab" as step #5 suggests.

    Regardless, I then uninstalled the realtek audio driver. I noticed that when I did this without restarting my laptop that the sound was now tinny, but not distorted as it was previously. After restarting, the sound was again full, yet distorted.

    Realtek still shows in my programs list, though it shows no memory is used.

    Thanks for your continued help.
