    Not really a crash, I have not been able to move beyond Safe Mode since the start of the issue.

    Using two screens on an old HP p6340f w/ win 7. Plan to upgrade to new hw later in the year but current rig supports my CAD. Screens began to deteriorate, pixelate, then show vertical lines of dots and later go blank completely with 'no signal' message. Rebooted several times, sometimes with...
