Problem with display when I boot up.

[Dofuss3000]

My monitor turns into a bunch of colorful lines when I boot up into windows.

Safe mode works perfectly fine, this is how I am typing this message.

It started when I tried to view this one program (Quantum Atomica) in full screen.

What could it be?

Nik, where are you...

Your video card is overheating. To fix this, pour cold milk over the heatsink while the computer is operating.

Download new video drivers.
Uninstall existing video drivers.
Reboot.
Install newly downloaded video drivers.
Reboot.
Set resolution and color depth back the way you want it.

Done.

If it works fine in safe mode, it's your video card drivers or settings. Revert back to the last good config, or reinstall your basic drivers. Bump after you do that

EDIT: BTW, FYI

I already tried reverting back to a good setting.

Clear all current settings (OC, etc.)
Remove existing drivers
Reinstall ones that came with your card
Don't update those drivers until you get it working. may be a faulty upgrade you downloaded or something
key is to revert back to square one. If you don't remove the current drivers and install the hard copy, then you're just going to keep getting it (assuming that drivers are to blame)

Try a different video card, even somehting old. Make sure its your video card and not somthing funnny on the mobo.
Also, doing this on a clean HDD would be good too.
