    Yeah; today I switched my PC on and I noticed a few colour screw ups, like white letters were dashed with purple and stuff like that. Didn't think much of it, figured it would correct itself. Nope, as soon as my net started up; my screen turned all sorts of blue, flecks of it everywhere and then my screen froze, my mouse still worked but everything else didn't. Then it blue screened on me.

    I honestly have no idea what's going on, haven't installed new programs or anything. Please help :<

    I'm not really an expert or anything but perhaps it's the screen itself. If you have one extra, try plugging your harddisk to the other screen and see if it works. At least that way you know if it's the screen or the harddisk that has a problem.

    I know the screens can some times go haywire for no reason...

    EDIT: It just came to me that I have had something close to this a few years a go. From what I gather, it happened because I always rested my feet on the harddisk. The extra weight would make the harddisk do all that you described.

    If you like have stuff on top of you harddisk, then don't. Lol, that sounds stupid...

    Good luck with it, anyways.

    Naw; I fixed it. Took me like an hour to figure out that the new windows update didn't like my current graphics drivers. I felt dumb for a while.
