Win 7 unable to boot and white diagonal lines in the screen

Recommended Posts

While I was starting up GTA IV, the screen went black and the PC stopped working. I rebooted and again, after launching GTA IV, the same happened.

 

Then, I could only boot in safe mode and some white lines appeared horizontal/diagonally in the screen. Booting normally made it crash.

 

Fortunately, I could make some file backups in safe mode in a pen drive. Then, I tried to boot again but this time I didn't have the 'boot in safe mode' option but the one to "repair" (reinstall I guess) it, so I guess now it's completely messed up.

 

Any idea what could be happening?

It could be a wide number of problems.

For now I would suggest getting your Windows 7 disc and booting from that and see if it can repair the OS.

Also try reading the Answer here http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/windows_7-windows_install/unspecified-changes-to-system-configuration-might/34f34556-e4d8-4db9-956e-a32b53d4209f

complete failure.

something pooped out on you. how old is your system and what are the specs.

looks like GTA pushed it to the max and then some.

It's not too old, I updated it a few months after BF3 was released.

 

I had a HD 6850 graphic card, 8 gb Ram (I just could use 3,5 since they installed Windows wrong) and I don't remember the processor. Also, few months ago, I had to change the hard drive, which I hope isn't broken...

 

I'm taking it today to the technician.

Doing that would I loose the data of the hard drives?

No, you won't (well shouldn't) lose data.
