Try this .Long shot
reboot into safemode/right click on the desktop/select Prop./Setting Folder/Advanced
Button/Monitor Setting/check to see if it's set at 60 hertz if not set it for 60
and then reboot and give it a try
Like I said Long Shot.
But you said it works ok in safemode, that may be because the video driver is not
driving the monitor at 256 with a high hertz setting and safemode should 16
anyway try it. can't hurt. just don't go higher with setting
If not replace the monitor with a good used one.
Or replace the video card, if it's not a onboard MB type.
