I don't know how this stuff happens, I think it could be related to heat and my mom not getting the AC fixed in our house for over a year now.

Whenever I turn on my computer [at home] the screen is covered in red lines, flickering etc. I don't know what caused it initially because it happened the very first time I turned it on when I got home, and my mom says she knows nothing of it. They cover the entire screen and they appear the moment the windows XP start up screen starts. Nothing I do makes them go away and it seems the temp inside isn't that bad, I have even cooled it down so I think this is some sort of permanent damage from he heat while I was away? I hope not, but I need some insight into the problem before I go pay for repairs when we are totally broke here...

I don't have the internet at home however so, I don't know when I can check this thread again, probably within the next day or so though.

Thanks for any help dudes.
