ok so i was playing a game and ma game froze so i just figured that I'd restart my computer. Upon restarting it reached the windows xp load screen with the little blue bar going across the screen, then it went black. The black screen however had several little dots ALL OVER the screen, arranged in a pattern. I tried restarting several times and it did the same thing every time. I am now running my computer in safe mode, while i post this desperate cry for help. another thing to note, there are several lines going across the screen even in safe mode. I did a virus scan , nothing. I did a registry error scan, nothing. Any help will be greatly appreciated. There is a picture of my computer in safe mode (the lines) posted below.

Looks like a video card failure or video driver failure

Display Driver to be correct, happens to me sometimes. Just let your monitors cool down or something, Thats usually my reason.

Have you checked the connection between your Video card and monitor?

ok, i got something. I am back up. I used an analog cable in stead of a digital one. For some weird reason that seemed to work. However, this is still a puzzling occurrence. I will keep you all updated.

**** IT. *sigh* OK looks like i am back to square one. The error has popped up again. My computer crashed while loading L4D2 (the screen went all colorful) and when I restarted, the original problem popped up again. Starting to get annoyed now.
