Hi,

I'm not a computer hardware professional, so this is only my opinion....

If your BIOS splash screen is garbled, then it's not going to be your OS.  It's
happening earlier in the boot process than the OS.  It may not be a graphics
chip problem, though,  I could see how a faulty motherboard or BIOS might 
cause it.

In any case, it definitely sounds to me like hardware.

Good luck,

Don A
