It's kind of strange, but almost every other boot from my computer the display is screwed up with white, vertical lines going down the Windows XP boot screen. Some times those lines are filled with $ signs. To get rid of it, I normally have to hold down the power button and then boot up again and keep on trying that until I get it right. I have a refurbished Dell monitor, but I'm more guessing that it could be the video card, because right now the display is just fine, and I keep the monitor on when I shut down and reboot again.
The attached image isn't my boot screen, just an example of what it looks like.
Specs: Windows XP, P4 2.8GHz, 1GB of RAM, 80GB Seagate 7200RPM, GeForce FX 5600 Ultra 128MB (latest drivers), Creative Audigy 5.1, Dell E773c 17" monitor (refurbished).
Everything is at their latest in drivers and critical updates.
In advance, thanks for anyone trying to help me with this. This is an incredibly annoying problem.
