a few days ago i was running my computer perfectly fine.. after a few days i started noticing these lines (short horizontal lines ..multi colored-ish).. soon the problem grew worse and my whole desktop would be filled with these lines and i wouldn't be able to access any part of my computer. now today, i booted up my pc like normal and right when it hits the "welcome" screen in windows xp, the lines show up again and my computer sort of locks up, except that you can move the mouse a bit with major lag as it moves. i tried reformatting and the problem came again right when i installed my video drivers (i installed nvidia drivers for my geforce4 ti4200 and ATI RAGE 128 PRO, both had the same result) so now my computer can't get past the welcome screen and i can't use it at all except for safe mode. ahh i'm confused since the computer has been running fine for 2 months but it suddenly dies on me.. anyone have suggestions to fix this problem? thanks
