At first guess, I’d say you’re losing your video card in a fairly violent, although somewhat feminine manner.  If that’s the case, whether or not the video is on-board (built into the motherboard) or otherwise, dictates the next course of action.  Is it no longer under warranty from Dell?

On my way back to AZ from Ohio on wednesday-and need some help/advise/whatever!!

My computer a Dell Inspiron 8500 suddenly started giving me narrow pink vertical lines all over the page, and the got worse and worse till I couldn't use it- even hard to shut down! Also hyndreds of small pink horizontal lines about 1/16 inch long each and one line tall around almost every thing on the page and also increasing in amounts as it was on - turned it off, and back on later but was only a couple minutes before unusable again. Any ideas, suggestions ---Help_-  If no one has any idea what is happening can you suggest someone in the mesa area to take it too--(I am on Cubpilots computer now). Will not have internet after Wed morning till I have this fixed!! I use T-Mobile over cell tower internet and it won't work on Charlies computer!!!

thanks for any help.

Connie
