well, my windows will boot up normaly, then right after the loading screen is done, and my mouse and login would come up, i get a black screen instead. Windows knows something is wrong cause when i boot up it says windows didnt start normally do oyu want to go into safe mode. it works fine in safe mode, im running virus scans and spyware scans at the moment but I really havnt done anything different. Also, at start up the loading screen will occasionaly have green vertical lines at the top and bottom of the screen. I thought it might be my vid card, what do you guys think? it's a geforce 4 ti4200 128 mb thanks
