[FONT=&quot]If the issue persists I would suggest you to check for the latest display/video card driver.[/FONT] You may first try uninstall and then reinstalling the display drivers. Then if the issue persists you may check for update of the drivers –

a. Click Start, and then click Control Panel.

Note If Control Panel is in Classic View, double-click System, and then click Device Manager.

c. In Device Manager, expand Display Driver, right-click the display devices, and then click properties and under the driver tab click on Uninstall.
d. When you are prompted to confirm that you want to remove the device, click OK.
e. Restart the computer.
After the computer restarts, the drivers will be automatically installed. Check after this procedure. Check after this procedure. Also check if you have any exclamation mark or cross marks alongside the display devices listed in device manager.

You can update the drivers using windows update. Refer to the below mentioned link and use the steps provided accordingly -

To illuminate this, you will have to either manually check the PUS or exchange it with a working one and see if the problem goes away. I would suggest the second option but if you are interested, here's how to manually check the PUS:
