I have followed your flowchart and it seems that i have a videocard issue. The reason I say that is because after my computer crashes and i restart it, the bootscreen log has lines missing and the color are weired.
Is there any way to repair that? |

Well there's not much you can fix on a videocard, however one of the major causes of videocard issues is overheating on the main chip.
If your video card has a fan on, try to remove it, clean the contact surface between the chip and the fan (copper surface of the heatsink to be more precise) reapply thermal compound (CPU glue) evenly on the surface. Make sure that there is a perfect contact between the chip and the copper heat sink (fan), let it dry for 24hrs and test your card again.
This has a great success rate and as said earlier is pretty much the only type of hardware repair done on video cards!
Good Luck! |

Sounds like what happened to me. It sounds as if though your hard drive is failing. Better back up your files or bring it into Staples for a checkup.

It could be overheating. Try blowing some canned air into the fan vents and whatever other openings there are in the chassis. Or, if it's a desktop computer, open the chassis up and use the canned air to dust off everything inside. The dust can act as an insulator, keeping the microchips from being able to cool down while it's on.
