So heres the problem, When I turn on my computer my cpu turns on and waits a few seconds in the "beep" initalizes the POST. While checking my ram there are 3-4 numbers/letters that are much brighter than others and there is a "blue matrix" (the green vertical lines you see in the movie) over a few of the numbers. I tried to go into my BIOS to see if I can view system status but when I enter BIOS all the normal letters that would be there are replaced by random characters similar to those in the LILO document. So assuming all is lost i just exit bios and let my computer try and boot to windows. Similar Matrix Coloring When it gets to the Windows Professional loading screen its covered with lines like the above picture. I assume im going to have to get a new motherboard but any help would be greatly appreciated. Won't be around for a while, sorry if this is vague it's hard to explain.

ok, let me get this strait. your suffering from Discoloring? or tearing? Or do you think that its software(virus) related. To me sounds like your bios is coruupted, or maybe your video card is going bad.. Or even your system Memory. If its tearing discoloring. But if it looks intentionsl, its some kind of viri. The most important peice of information you left out of your thread is... "is your computer working fine, other than the discoloration." |

Update: It was indeed my video card but there is something else wrong on my motherboard, im pretty sure its my chipset controller since the fan for it died some time ago and ive been running with a heatsink for a while so thats my guess. I'll update more when I get it back this afternoon. ( My friends dad said he'd fix it for free) No my computer wasn't working fine, it was having issuses loading xp-pro. No my card wasnt overclocked because I didnt have a cooling system effective enough. Blue Pill. I'll keep ya posted. |

Have you reset CMOS yet? There is a jumper on your motherboard where you switch the jumper from pins 1-2 to pins 2-3 then back to pins 1-2. That usually fixes any problems in your BIOS. Or you can check your motherboards manufacturer and they may have a firmware update so that you can flash the BIOS. | ||

Update: Got a call from my friends dad and apparently my computer shouldn't have been running for the last month or 2 because the jumper setting on the hard-drive was set to master, but when its installed alone it should be on cable select... He said he couldnt really explain why it had been running for so long on the wrong setting but that other than that everything is perfect so now I feel like a nub. >< |
