So here's the story....my father used my computer while I was out, and while I was outside I got a call from himsaying that the PC suddenly shut down while he was surfing the net. He then tried to start it back up and unfortunately he could not get the PC to load into windows.

So I decided to go back home and I was shocked to seethat the BIOS startup screenis messed up. What I mean is the screen is supposed to be black with white letters but now its messed with blue vertical lines and exclamation marksall overthe screen. Even the spelling of words are wrong "like safe" mode becoming "sage mode".

The PC cant even load into windows, it'll just pop up a blue screen in a fraction of a second and then restart. The only way I could enter windows is using safe mode. I'm using XP by the way.

So guys, I really need your help into solving this problem....any help would be appreciated

If you are using a AGP or PCI-E graphic card, remove it from your computer & then put it again. Maybe it will solve your problem & this is only a SUGGESTION

I've tried that already, seems that it didn't solve the prob. By the way, the messed up graphics only occurs during the bios startup. When it loaded into safemode, the graphics are totally fine
