Windows 8.1. Letters look strange, how I fix this?
Greetings. I cannot enter in Windows, because of strange/odd letters in beginning of starting the computer. When I start CPU and put power on, there is "Acer" as usually, but then there is blue background, and odd letters. I cannot choose, because I dont understand.
Previously I tried to make CPU faster, but I did some misstake here. I need to get files from CPU and as poor in computers I dont have code for Windows 8.1.
I have no idea how to start to fix this.

Will you show us the whole screen? That will help us understand better. If you mess with the systems settings WITHOUT knowing what you're doing, that will mess everything up. It's either malware or a virus because this is abnormal. Contact ACER if you can only get to that screen.

Thanks. There is no more than that what you see in first message at pic 1. In second picture, first in this message, you can see blue screen where place for password at up little bit righ. Then you can choose small icons from right and left. When you choose left, you see pic, where is 3 switch buttons. ( second pic in this message). There I found for example keyboard for mouse. When you click icon on down right you can see 2 options. Well.
Strange thing is this that I can operate, but letters are wrong. I think this is some kind of place for repair?
