My Computer Won't Start up

Sup geeks, I have a biggy for you today. My Sony Vaio (desktop) just wore out, and whenever I click the "on" button, it turns on as normal. But when it gets past disk check, a blue message comes up for about 0.5 of a second, and then the computer restarts. Before I had this problem, I could get past the disk check, but everything was completely blurred, and there was wavy horazonal lines everywhere and it was obviosly impossible to work with that on the screen. (the wavy lines happend for about 6 times, before the computer started to restart itself.

Before I had this problem, I was installing Nvidia Drivers, after they misteriously "disapeard" from my hardware. They were working before for months.

This is on the hardware forum also, I guess it has to do with both software and hardware?

Sony Vaio 2001 Desktop Computer
Windows XP, PIII
128mb pc-133 sdram
64mb nvidia MX/MX 400
870MHz
40gb HD

Thanks for any help!

BTW, is a system reformat involved?

 

If you can get into safe mode see if you can fix those drivers up. That sounds like the problem.
