I need some help in my destop, gateway GT5056, my monitor is also Gateway, FTD 1760 TFT, "EzMenu" display controls, 1280 x 1024 max. res.''. This morning I got a message from windows update, I hit it yes, and after that the color of my screen goes between blue, light yellow and green, then I restore the system for 2 days ago, and then when I start the PC, it start running (with same colors) I able to see windows logo, I receive message for update of display drivers and after that the screen gets black.
When PC start I see windows logo and after that I cannot see anything, except a really tiny blue line in the real top of the screen. What happaned? It is to bad? I am lost.

After restore, does the PC start normally or problem?

Would start in safe mode and then go to device mgr and click + next to display adapter and right click on the adapter and choose unisntall and say OK

Close open windows and restart PC, should be OK now

After I star the problem persist, I can hear the PC working, but I cannot see anything in the screen, only a tiny blue line across in the top of the screen.

You can plug the monitor into another computer or laptop and see if it works normally there. If you get the same thing, you know your monitor is toasted.

Try booting into Safe Mode. Does the display return? If so, change the settings in Safe Mode to something lower than you usually use, then reboot normally again.

Fingers crossed.

And you have gone to device mgr and uninstalled adapter and restarted

What is listed as the present display adapter when you go to device mgr

After I restore whole system, the problem about colors w/monitor exist, also I got a problem when I try to restore system with backup but it doesn't created the backup, it is somehow I can recover my info? Or it just I lost it.
