my computer produces ART - all by ITSELF




my usually so reliable fujitsu&siemens laptop has newly discovered his affection for producing art - without me having asked for it. today in class, i wanted to boot it as usual, and then these strange things you can see above occured, even before the operating system was started. they change colours sometimes and flicker around. really odd.
i don't know what to do now, all my study's data is on this stupid machine, and my photos, and documents, and EVERYTHING. my whole damn life is on that thing!(ok, from time to time i make backups on an external drive, but the most recent data is only on the laptop's hdd)
my housemate was so nice to let me write this post on his computer.
i already plugged an external monitor into my video card's output, but then it aswell displays these odd stripes and patterns, and starts flickering and stuff. that sucks.
it probably is a problem with the graphics card. i guess i'll have to send it in to be repaired, which is surely gonna take its time and price, because the computer is about half a year out of the warranty. ouch. this sucks even more. stupid piece of crap.
so, don't forget: NEVER TRUST THE MACHINES!
