When I run the Windows 8 setup program the screens are nearly unreadable. There is a screenshot of this below. I'm not even sure how to describe the garbled text effect for googleing purposes.
While I was able to finally get Windows installed with a lot of guessing at what was on the screen, the video problem persists. I suspect this is some sort of driver issue, but I am not able to download and install the latest drivers from Nvidia because the screen is so unreadable.
I tried booting up in Windows restricted graphics mode (I think that was F5 in the special boot menu), but the problem persists. Same goes for booting up in Safe Mode.
I know this computer is OK, because I was able to install Window 8 on it just fine when using the integrated graphics. Also I am currently dual booting Windows XP (using the Geforce card), and it it does not have the same problem.
Can anyone shed any light on this?
