hey guys,

Okay so i knew my computer was bad and needed to be replaced but today when i was logging onto WoW, the screen turned into multiple stripes of colors and started making a noise so i shut off the power and turned it back on. Thinking thats all it needed, mind you i probably made it worse, instead when i turned on the screen now all icons and computer resolution was huge and was still multiple colors. i really think its broken for good this time or i need to replace my graphics card or something but i really dont know, im not that computer swavy as you can tell  :P So was wondering if anyone could identify the problem because im not really sure whats wrong :S

here is a screenshot to help explain the problem;

Thats a definite graphics card issue. Looks like its going bad and on its way out, no telling when itll die completely.

/sigh, at least i know whats wrong with it now, thanks shadow :) so my only solution is probably replacing the graphics card.
