XP SP3. Odd characters are all over the screen during boot. Windows freezes at the logo.
I can enter Safe mode w/o problem (no odd characters).
I've tried followings but none of them works:
In Safe mode, do system restore;
In BIOS setting, restore the previous status;
Reset BIOS to default;
Took out battery on motherboard to reset BIOS.
Is this virus, O/S or hardware? Thanks.
Here are two screenshots (please copy/paste the links, direct click won't work):
