Hello,

I don't have any specific knowledge myself, but after researching a bit here is the best troubleshooting/solution I've found.

Completely uninstall the display adapters and reinstall them.
Method 1:
Follow these steps:
a. Open Device Manager by clicking theStart button, clicking Control Panel, clicking System and Security, and then, under System, clicking
Device Manager. If you're prompted for an administrator password or confirmation, type the password or provide confirmation.‌
b. In the list of hardware categories, click on display adapters, and then double-click the device name.
c. Click the Driver tab, click Uninstall and then follow the instructions. If you're prompted for an administrator password or confirmation, type the
password or provide confirmation.
d. Restart the computer.
Method 2:

Run SFC scan. System File Checker (sfc) scan will make Windows replace corrupt or missing system files on your computer.
Steps to perform sfc scan:
a. Click Start, click All Programs, click Accessories, right-click Command Prompt, and select Run as Administrator.
b. Click Continue or supply Administrator credentials if prompted.
c. In the Command Prompt window type the following, and press Enter:
sfc /scannow
