hi every one and thx to any one who trys to help me
system specs
motherboards Years of service: around 5-9 years
OS: XP SP2 WAS fully updated
safe mode possable to use
GFX: nvidia geforce 6800 WAS fully updated since october 07
Ram: 1gb Rimms
HDD: seagate 80GB Reformatted to see if a virus was present
Bios: can't tell what version atm (read why below) but reseted by a jumper
so here's my problem about about 3 or 4 days ago i was playing a game normally and didn't see anything wrong untill the computer decided to restart suddenly (glad it was a online game so no need to save).
after it restarted my moniter starting flicking to a black screen then back on which at 1st i checked my cable and moniterspower supply which nothing was wrong so i restarted the pc after which it worked.
when i got back onto windows i started playing again for it to crash and lose signal with the mon and play some sounds in bits going on and off so i reset the pc (powerswitch wouldn't work) which takes me to the current problem.
when i reset my pc the boot screen showed aload of $ symbols and horizontal lines of dots above and below them (can take a picture of it if needed) also typing words wrong lets say instead of ram it'll put rwm.
the computer then crashes like the 2nd time i was playing a game just without the sounds after the windows loading screen so it stops me going on windows now so i'm forced to reset andgo on safe mode which thankfully i could.
when safe mode loaded i decided my GFX drivers maybe corrupt so i uninstalled them on SM and it got me on normal mode windows but when i reinstalled the drivers the problem came back making me think virus bios or windows so i formatted the HDD which failed and reset the bios both failed.
that's about the jiff of it can any one help me?
sorry about the REALLY LONG post
