Not sure if I should do anything with this bug at this point but I still have this computer and I tried installing Ubuntu 15.10 on it. A lot of things that used to not work with Ubuntu now do and that's encouraging but the graphics still look like the image I posted in comment #10. Using Windows with only built in drivers the screen looks normal. BIOS is as up to date as I can get it.
