Anyone have any ideas about this new problem I have?

All blocks on top row of LCD - nothing on bottom row, brightness and contrast is adjustable.

I also did the serial check while it was hooked up to my PC and the 000.0 was scrolling in the Arduino program..

I am also able to upload sketches, but nothing changes whats on the display.

I did search through the forum for "blocks" but the other block problems did not seem like what I am experiencing.

Can someone tell me at least from the symptoms of what I've got if my atmega is still good or a bootloader got dropped.. I imagine if it did I couldn't load the sketch right? And the serial monitor wouldn't put anything out right? I mean I really don't know.
