My computer was running fine then all of a sudden I was getting a bunch of color lines showing up on my screen. I tried System restore and my screen still loooked the same. Then I tried system recovery and still the same problem. So I did a desructive System recovery and my computer had the color lines,but now it wouldn`t go pass the Windows start up screen. So I restarted it and it did the same thing, but now I get a black screen filled with little 0`s with a smiley face. Which leads me to believe I have some sort of virus inside that I can`t get rid of. Any help in this matter would be greatly appreciated.
