Do the lines still appear in safe mode? It could be a monitor or graphics card problem.

thanks for getting back to me
in safe mode the lines do not appear at all
it seems strange that it will do it during boot up and not in safe mode

itreminds me of my oldspectrum and amiga when they used to crash!!!

It may be a driver error try uninstalling the graphics card drivers in safe mode, then try booting into xp normaly. If that dosen't work i would suggest try another graphics card.
