Hi there!

Once again in the hope of some help I've come to Overclockers where I've always found people to give the best possible advice. Hope someone's able to help.

Over the weekend I suffered my first blue screen and some subsequent issues starting my PC this evening. Initially the blue screen wasn't an issue.

I came home this evening, started my PC and was faced with this issue:

A switching of my screen to multi-coloured, to white, to black.

After restarting my PC and fiddling inside a few times it still did the same thing after choosing to start in repair mode.

I started windows normally and low and behold it managed to start normally. This was the blue screen message from Windows:

Problem signature:

OS Version: 6.1.7600.2.0.0.768.3

I did install Diablo II over the weekend and I'm wondering if that has something to do with it as I have never suffered any problems like this before.

Any help would be much appreciated!

^looks broken tbh from your video.

Update your graphics cards drivers if you can get ito windows and see if it helps, just in case.

What power supply do you have?
 
I'd be either looking at the graphics card being on the way out or the graphics card not being supplied enough power.

A cheap 2nd hand graphics card would be handy. :).
