Display problem

[bndb]

have a Intel 2.8 Ghz HT processor with 865 GVHz Intel original mother board. Running with Windows XP professional . For last few days while starting windows, the screen goes heywire at log-in screen. I tried to boot it through Knoppix CD(Linux), it worked initially. After that even Windows started normally and I could work. Later it will not even boot through Knoppix. Display won’t come. Sometimes a screen will appear with various choices of boot, e.g., Boot in Safe mode etc., Last known good configuration, start windows normally. However it will not boot further. After giving a day’s break I got the following message (quoted as it is)

I ran setup. But problem remains. Sometimes horizontal lines are appearing in the Intel display boards while booting and then hangs.



Can anyone please tell me what the problem is and its solution?

What did you do when you ran setup? Did you set failsafe defaults?

If so and it made no difference, I suspect it's a motherboard problem. Heat, CPU, RAM etc.

You might have to take it to a shop to get it checked out.

If you go in to BIOS - Do these lines still appear? If they do then get your motherboard / gfx card replaced.

Dear Kevin_gibson, In BIOS I never got these lines

[bndb]

yesterday I could somehow get into BIOS once again and changed to default settings. Windows XP started, I could log in, but before the log-in process could be completed, the rightside of trhe screen got garbled and system hanged. Then I could neither go to BIOS nor could start XP again. From all these it appears to be a mother board problem. If u anyone has anything to offer in this case please do so. Thanking you, bndb.
