hmm very strange
something like that generally would not happen from spyware
its a video issue ..
you sure your friend didnt f**k with video settings at all? drivers, monitor, something?
you know what you should do though .. . .
backup what you need and reformat ..
ding

Looks like your video card could be going the way of the junkyard. Every single time I've ever had artifacts like that on my screen, it usually indicated that my video card was about to fail within a month.

I hate Atarom. But not enough to spare him the headache I went through. 99% your video card is about to go to shit. I trouble shooted my computer for 10+ days 3-4 hours a day trying to fix it till I finally borrowed someones video card and beat the shit out of myself.

That's definitely a video card problem, Atarom. Try changing the refresh rate on it altho I doubt it will help. It's most definitely a video card problem.
I think it's funny you have a folder called "GI Joe Vids"
-Nah-

That's really weird. I can't think of any video card problem that would make it write "WTF" in hot pink on your desktop.

tat's just where i download everything so i can sort it later and so it's easy to find.
also: my computer just restarted and then wouldnt boot past bios because the temp was too high.
i think i just need better cooling in my case.
overheating might be the video problem
i let it sit for a while and now everything is kosher

LOL so my system shuts down due to an overheat. i look at my bios and it's running at like 80 deg celcius.
so im liek wtf.
i look at my GFX card... fan: NOT SpINNING..
so i turn it off, take it out, and the vid card is hot as hell, and i have to force the fan to rotate. i guess it's just all full of dust and junk.
so i switch cards, turn it back on, and my hdd wont boot past windows, i try again and it gets through the loading, but it runs at the speed of a 90mhz pos. everything is super slow. so now i'm sticking a different HDD in, reformatting, and seeing if it makes a difference.
i think i might have fried my CPU, but everything in windows setup seems to work pretty fast.
we'll see wtf is going on.
god i hate computers.
dude, i'm gettin a dell next time.
