display flickering on Dell all in one (can't do anything)
I'm looking at a friends computer for him because the screen (Windows) is flickering. The display passed the video test, I tried to access advanced startup options but he forgot the admin password. I was thinking it may be a bad video driver but I'm unable to do anything. Safe mode also flashes.
I have the HDD out, plugged into a dock which is connected to my computer. I ran Crystal Disk Info, but I've read to ignore what it found.
I ran error checking by right clicking on the drive and selecting properties/tools. The scan took a long time and hung, slowing down my system. I was hardly able to do anything on my PC so I stopped the scan on the possibly bad HDD.
