Do a Search on your PC for files named "SMC.EXE" - r-click on any found, and
see where they originate (click Properties, and look at the Version
details) -post back with details.

Reboot to Safe Mode
Open Device Manager
Remove ALL Display Adapters
Remove ALL Monitors
Reboot to Normal Mode - Windows will reinstall the required drivers -
hopefully curing your problem.
