PC Problems

ok, pc guys, i needz your help...
so today i had my pc on, then got a call and was on the phone for a while. when i came back i moved the mouse to get rid of the black standby screen. but it wouldnt go away. so i then pressed keys on the keyboard also not doing anything. so i turned it off and then back on, and when it restarted the screen had these vertical lines through it and instead of starting regularly it brought me to the page where it says i can open in safe mode, safe mode with network, previous settings, or normal. if i click normal it starts to load, then goes black, and then restarts itself bringing me back to the with the safe modes, safe mode with network, previous setting, normal again. safe mode works (doesnt restart) but is damn annoying with this 800x600 resolution... and it still has those damn vertical lines going through my screen.
whats up with my pc??
at the mo im in safe mode with network.

That used to happen to my other box - those lines through the screen. I had to shut it down like 5 or more times sometimes before it would go away.
If it wont start in normal mode and only works in safe mode, maybe something in your windows install is corrupt?

What windows version is it?
Some of the posters that go to the science and technology forum are good at working with these kinds of problems.

Are you just restarting or shutting down? For mine, I actually had to hit the power button or shut it down totally a bunch of times for it to get back to normal.

exactly... lol.
so what would be the best thing to do now? since it sounds like a hardware problem i would have to take it somewhere and buy a new video card or whatever is causing the problem, and have them install it (cause i have no idea about installing hardware, especially on a laptop...). and wheres the better place for this? bestbuys geeksquad?

I know you said you didn't want to, but there's no way you can reformat? At least that way if it really is something corrupt in your install you wont have to lose money to find out. That's the only other thing I can really think of to do before you will have to take it somewhere.
I reformatted mine not too long ago and it still preserved my files. You can install windows into a different folder and you wont lose anything.

Ah well, if you haven't done so already, update to the newest graphics driver for your card.

Do you know what type of video card you have?
Ive burned up a couple of nivida cards myself and what you discribe is exactly what happens when the card was getting too hot. Your card is the problem. When it over heats or has an error it will constanlty crash over and over. I would deff update your driver and see how it runs. Sometimes a simple drive update is all it takes.
