I don't know where to put this really, so I'll put it here.
Recently, my computer has started having a funny error that forces it to restart without giving me any real time to do anything other than yell "&#$(#*@&$" and let it happen.
It's been putting rainbow lines over my screen, or boxes in blocks down the width of my screen, giving me a horrible sound that startles even my cats (like an alert-style beeping that shouldn't be on a computer, generally scares the hell out of me), then it just shuts itself down and restarts. It offers me the option to start in safe mode, safe mode with networking, one more option and then start windows normally.
Usually I'll start it normally, go just a few days, and it happens again. It's very frustrating because I like to save all my work at the end of the night and continue the next day. I don't tend to restart manually a lot. But even doing that doesn't help me to make it better.
Here's some info on my computer for you:
