    Alight this problems happens randomly, when I'm doing work or other stuff on the computer... when suddenly the computer screen turns into a screen of vertical lines with colors of black and grey. Before it was a blue and a lite blue. I was wondering why does it do this?

    Computer Specs:
    Acer Aspire 5100
    Microsoft Windows XP SP2
    AMD Turion™ 64 x2 Mobile
    797 MHz, 2.25 GB of RAM
    27.8 GB out of 53.6 GB memory on NTFS (Drive C:) Was FAT32 before.
    45.9 GB out of 54.1 GB memory on NTFS (Drive D:) Was formally FAT32

    Looks almost like this..

    Sounds like a faulty graphics card. You should have it repaired.

    Try putting in a different graphics card temporarily install the drivers for your original card and reinstall you default card

    It's a laptop, that probably won't be possible.
