Been trying to fix what I assumed was an outdated graphics driver, though when I updated it, the issue of the computer not starting up while not on Safe Mode or pixelating hasn't been fixed.
Specs:
HP Pavilion dv9700 Notebook PC
Windows Vista 64-bit
NVIDIA GeForce 8600M GS
Driver Version: 8.17.13.142
If you need any more information, I'll provide it, but I just have no idea what could be going wrong.
