I'm a very un-knowledgeable user so please bare with me. I have been running Win 7 build 7100 since july/august perfectly.
Just an hour ago I move my mouse (left comp on sleep mode all day) and it starts up but i hear an unusual beep.
Go check it out and weird colorful blocks and giant vertical colorful bands are going across screen while it tries to force into startup. Now..stuck in some random safe mode with no options with diagonal dotted lines running across screen.:eek:
I don't know what commands to type in ...etc.etc...
I may need a lot of guidance here.

Is there a possible solution or am i screwed?! :(:confused:
