    I have a m17x r3 with a gt 780m installed. Been good to me for about a year but I decided to reformat. After it was done reformating, right after the windows screen it will freeze on a random color screen( blue yellow pink green ect) then restart and do the same thing again. I can't boot into safe mode because it is the first time booting after a reformate it won't let you boot into safe mode. Any help getting me going would be great.
