Laptop failing help needed please

[simshi993052]

i have a toshiba satallite SA-60 with a few problems
i installed a bit more memory and a new hard drive and all was well Xp pro went on there and was runnning great until one morning i turned it on to find two problems

firstly
there are little lines when i first turn it on (only on the logo screen) for which i have attached a few pics, but to make it easier for you guys to see i attached it to a monitor..

secondly
i cannot load windows on there it gets as far as copying all the files then when it says starting windows nothing happens after that

i have had various people tell me a few different things( graphics , motherboard,needs a bios update???) but as i know nothing of laptops i am a little apprehensive about trying something
it would be very much appreciated if you guys could supply me with your knowlege,
Many thanks all the best

If they are too large, you can host them on imageshack.us or similar, and use the [ img ] tag to show them here.
Or, you can attach just one image per post, if it will fit, or make them smaller.

Did these problems start straight after installing the memory and hard drive?
Are you sure these parts were compatible?
And you said you installed XP Pro, but you then say you cannot load it because it stops after it copies the files.  Which is it?

the memory and hard drive are both compatable for the laptop
i had xp running fine for about a week then one morning the lines were there i thought that maybe i had a virus so i wiped the hard drive and now it freezes up on the staring window bit after the files have been copied from the disc,,

the smallest file is 280kb how can i reduce that
Many thanks all the best

You could edit the image and reduce the resolution, or change the file type.
How large is the image, in terms of resolution?  Example: 1280x1024
What file type is it? Example: jpeg
A size like 800x600 would be large enough, and jpeg offers quality levels which can be reduced to reduce the size.

imageshack would offer a way to show us the full size images.
