Blue screen

This is not an urgent enquiry, but i've just bought a 2nd hand tower of a friend because he's had enough of it, basically the problem is that on every boot up he/i get a blue screen with lots of vertical lines and loads of garbled text, this is after the desktop screen appears(as normal).

The pc can be started in safe mode ok.

Any Ideas, if not it's no great loss


thanx

 

Right off the bat without specs, OS and such, I would say video driver needs to be updated, or the video card is bad.

 

Ya...

forgot I actually work this early in the morning, almost am late for work

 

Cheers, what i'll do is rig the thing up tommorow and see what i can make out on the screen, and any other relevant details.

thanx again

 

Another kitty saved!!!
