Kamnitzer Posted March 11, 2014 Share Posted March 11, 2014 Hi there ! Im having some trouble with my Windows. When turned my computer on it just had these lines on the monitor and it wont display properly. When I try to boot it in normal mode it crashes, but in safe mode it can stand. And that's how I am posting right now. I have already updated my video card drives and nothing. The problem starts as I switch the machine on, so Im guessing it is hardware, but i want to be sure. I took some pictures to you all there understand what Im going through here. My video card is a GeForce 9600 GT. Windows 7 32 bits. Many thanks in advance !

zhangm Supervisor Posted March 12, 2014 Supervisor Share Posted March 12, 2014 Almost certainly a failing video card (hardware). I had the same symptoms with a card that died of the Nvidia solder joint issue. Edit: Moved to Hardware Hangout since you mention that the graphical artifacts exist immediately on startup (pre-Windows). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
