Alright. Please someone help me! And also please excuse my spell and grammer, but I can't really see anything on my screen. My computer is messing up. It's either the graphics card or my monitor or something. Here's the whole thing:
- To start off... I was about to play battlefield 2 but before I did I put my Game Accelerator 6.6 on because my hardware isn't that good so I needed a little boost. And I started up BF2 and was playing a little, when some green flicker things (just like the one in my screenshot except green) came on the screen. This has happened a couple of times before and I'm not exactly sure what I did but I think the game just quit or something and the flickers where left on my screen. I manually closed the computer because I thought it would fix itself. Apperently I was wrong. It didn't and what you see bellow is what happened.
I turned my computer back on and I got a bunch of weird static looking stuff and flickering stuff. Sorry for my description but I really don't know what to describe them as. It seemed pretty weird. Right after that a blue looking screen with a bunch of writing came on for a little under 2 seconds so I can't see it and then it restarts for some reason and it does the same as the first except when it started up the computer the screen has a bunch of weird flickers or something (same as last time) on it but then it goes to a screen that has the options of of using it on safe mode and a bunch of other options but on this screen there are color flicker things and stuff that looks like non moving static and 5 different letters would be in a colum running up the screen. I would pick one of the safe mode options. And it would bring me to my desktop. The resolution though would be reset back to 800 x 600 and it would all be in windows classic mode (not to mention a lot of flicker things). And there would be no icons in the task bar. I did try to restart my computer more times but nothing was fixed. Anyways I do all the same things to get back to my messed up desktop screen. I thought, maybe a worm or virus or trojan? (I'm still not sure, but it might be). But then I thought that it might be my graphics card. So I went into the control panel (all in classic mode), system, hardware, device manger, display adapters, and uninstalled my NVIDIA video card and my graphics accelerator and it said it needed to restart to work so then I do and oddly enough, it doesn't go to the safe mode menu thing and it goes to the login menu, but it all still had the static and flicker stuff. I click on my name and log in. It brings me to my desktop in windows XP mode and I can see all the tasks in my task bar. Everything seemed to be working except I still have these pink and sometimes green flickers. I went back to try to reinstall my graphics card, I put my disk in to reinstall the graphics card and I got to the setup and it was installing and then it got halfway when my zonealarm ask for the permission of the program that was trying to access something. I thought it was the disk (it might have been, I couldn't see it.) needing to restart for the card to work. I clicked Allow and then my computer made the noise that it usually makes saying it's going to restart. And it seemed like it was half way through the restart (where the screen goes black and then it should turn back on again) but then it just stayed on the black screen for 5 minutes or so and I just manually shut it down thinking it didn't work. When I turned in back on it did the same thing as the beginning (turn on with flickers and static, had to open in safe mode, and the resolution was 800x600 and in windows classic mode). And I uninstalled the card again and came onto Frihost community to ask for some assistance.

Other Things About it:
- A video controller (vga compatible) hardware install notifaction thing came on a couple of times and I allowed it to download but it could not find the right stuff on my computer it needed to download.
- Whenever I resize, scroll, or move a window the pink flicker things spread in a much bigger portion all around the window.

If a video is needed for anyone to figure out what it is, I might be able to make one with my camera (can take 2 minute video clips) and host it on youtube, but it will take a while on my other very very crappy computer. Please help me!
