Do I have a virus or Vid card went bad ???
 
It just happened when I clicked on a icon,all of sudden I got a black screen.I rebooted and got some green patterns live waves,scrolling down on my screen,stays like that for a minute or so,then goes back top black again.

I tried in safe mode and works (sometimes),but then went back to regular log in and the samething happened.

How can I check if my Vid card isn't working properly in safe mode ?

What do you guys think ?

Thanks

Sounds like your cards fucked, usualy if the memory on a card dies you'll get loads of random colours etc on the screen. Might want to open your case and check to see if the fans still spinning on the card, could just be overheating.

You can put fans on pretty easily, or buy a heatsink with a fan attached to it. Im assuming the fan stopped working?

Could it be a resolution your monitor doesn't support ? You said yourself that
Safe Mode works right ? Check your configs.

The fan on my 64mg mx440 went out but i kept using it for about 4 months until the card finally burned out. then i got to buy a new one!
