Today was very strange as I spent most of it troubleshooting. I powered down my comp last night for the first in awhile and booted up later in the day only to find something odd. During the bios boot up screens the text had an odd look to it. Every two letters would be white, then every next two letters would be brown. e.g. "press a key to continue" would be colored: WWBBW W BBW WB BWWBBWWB. Afterwards the xp loading screen would ensue yet I could still see a similar brownish color in the text throughout loading. Then after the load screen, I get no output from my videocard and I get a black screen of darkness for all eternity.
After troubleshooting I decided to re-install video drivers and uninstalling a Windows Theme app which I expect was the cause, things seem to be back to normal. The bios text during bootup are all white once again.
I've been unable to find anything about the bios weird coloring that indicate a system error and am wondering if yall know of anything like this. Thanx.
Also I've got a bunch of sys errors in my event viewer that i'll try to sort through and post. Most of which I've never seen or heard of before such as:
NVidia driver:
The driver nv4_disp for the display device \Device\Video0 got stuck in an infinite loop. This usually indicates a problem with the device itself or with the device driver programming the hardware incorrectly. Please check with your hardware device vendor for any driver updates.
