    This is a brand new computer? A Laptop? Was it sold in an English speaking country? Or in b Europe?  Or was it sold in an eastern country that uses Unicode instead of standard Roman letter set?

      It is now beyond the warranty. You may have a failing video card or monitor.

      But can you boot into safe mode?

      The problem may look different in safe mode.

      How did you determine it is out of Warranty after only 3 months ? ?

      We don't even know what make/model it is...

      I should have asked.
      Some users buy extended warranties. I forgot.

      In Britain you get 6 months by law and most retailers extend that to 1 year. For most things like TVs etc they will try to sell you extended warranties on momthly terms but these are usually more expensive than insurance you can buy separately. Putting the amount of the premium in a savings account each month is a better idea.

        The problem did not appear in safe mode and know it is not appearing at all. Keep in mind that problem has lasted at least 3-5 days with me restarting and shunting down my computer and i havent tryed anything to fix it ???

        Any Yellow !'s in Device Manager ? ?
        Sounds like a missing/incorrect driver...

          Well, you can do useful  work in Safe Mode.

          But another thing to try is log in as a new user. If that solves the issue, it means the original user accost got corrupted.

            i'm not sure how I will know or you know, that logging in to a new, made user account will solve the problem if the problem has not appeared in 7 days in my only account. 8)
