Various problems, currently something with my display.
Reading around some threads here I have found a host of useful information, but I am still having problems with my computer.
I built the computer a bit over a year ago, and it worked flawlessly until about a month ago. It started by giving me errors related to a very obscure problem involving core system .dll files (the solution others had come up with online didn't work) so I did a completely new install of windows.
The new windows install worked for a little while before I started getting errors associated with the hard drive. I was pretty fed up at this point, so I purchased a new hard drive and cloned the old one. So far it seems like that end of the computer has been fine, but now I am getting lines of various kinds shooting across the screen when I start up. This seems like it would be a video card error of some kind to me, but I don't see how that would tie in to any of the other problems I have been having?
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Some of the core components are listed below, but if you want to know any more I would be more than happy to find out more.
Mobo: Asus P8P67
Video Card: Geforce 460
4gb Ram (2 x 2gb)
edit: This may be a ridiculous addendum to my post, but one area of computers that I just have no experience with is the bios. Not sure if this could be bios related, but if it was it is unlikely that I would have any idea that I'm doing anything wrong.
