hello, I have some trouble with my pc. The day after I installed the latest windows updates on my windows XP pc (which was 2 days ago) I was playing a game (one I play often), and suddenly the computer freezes...
It didn't respond to ctrl+alt+del, so I resetted with the reset butten, then is when I noticed the first weird thing, there are stripes of wrong colors and black on the screen.
then it shows a black screen with some white letters, from which the only somewhat readable part shows:
NO F UND NY D SK!
then it skips on to the screen where you can choose between different types of safe modes and starting windows normally.
when choosing the latter it gives the usual black screen with windows logo and loading bar, though still with messed up colored stripes, then the screen either shows a flash of some blue screen and then the monitor goes on standby mode, or it shows the same flash of blue and restarts.
When choosing to start in safe mode it does the same, though sometimes there's no blue screen and it restarts almost every time, almost because it sometimes does load safe mode, but again with stripes through the screen.
I'm not sure if the updates have something to do with this error, but it's the only thing that has changed recently.
help would be very much appreciated,
thanks in advance
