    One minute its fine, the next it restarts and i have black vertical lines covering the entire screen. If i try normal startup, i get a blue screen(w/ stripes) and there is some text i cant read and a countdown from 5 to 0 then it restarts and repeats the process. It will only boot up in safe mode. Sony Vaio VGN-FE790G

    Looks like your graphic card could be on it's way out.
