Weird Screen at XP Boot

Okay, so I get this screen after the windows load screen, but before the actual shell loads:

It's like the video data is out of sync with my monitor. I can tell it's something. I just don't know what that something is. Little white bars slowly progress and scale down the screen, as if something is being processed. This screen persists for about 10 minutes, and then Windows boots.
Also, it will appear after the chkdsk screen.

PS: I am getting a fuckton of errors when running chkdsk.
Everytime I start Windows, I get another fresh set.
What gives.

it looks like your monitor is a piece of shit that doesn't support the video mode that your system is trying to switch into.

i bet what's happening is that before letting you into XP to login, windows is doing the hd diagnostics. what tipped me off is that you say you're getting a fuckton of chkdsk errors. windows is probably trying to fix them to no avail.

i strongly suggest you get another monitor so you can actually see wtf is going on.

I wouldn't bother with that, the monitor wouldn't be the issue, if the display mode was out of sync or if the refresh rate was too high the monitor would simply shut the display off or squeal, unless it's doing either, and it's not.

No, I'd skip looking into a monitor issue, and pull the hard drive, and start backing up the data off the drive in that machine if you have anything worth saving, because continuous CHKDSK errors basically translates into your hard drive is fucked.

And what you're probably looking at is a corrupted program that's been decaying as the result of a failing hard drive over a duration of time. If you don't make a move now there's a good chance you'll lose the drive completely and won't be able to recover anything.

my suggestion is the quickest, easiest, and cheapest. it costs him absolutely nothing to try it. either bring his computer to someone else's place, or bring a monitor to his... whatever. :shrug: if i'm wrong, i'm wrong....

Nor does pulling the drive and backing up his data.

If he continues attempting to boot the machine to test things out he may very well lose everything, or at the very least make matters worse.

he only has to boot it ONCE.

The monitor only does this with this specific video card. Alternatively, this video card only does this with this specific monitor.

I found out what it was: O&O's pre-windows system defrag. I must have turned it on when going through the defrag to move all the NTFS data to grouped clusters.

As for the CHKDSK errors, I highly doubt its the drive failing.
Its like something on my system is deleting file indices, and isolating files in so doing. Because there are no corrupt files, no missing files, just missing indices, usually within contiguous clusters. It may be O&O, but how and or why would it be doing that?

well disable O&O and see if the chkdsk errors go away...

And, what do you know.
O&O was causing all the issue.

:\ What the fuck.
Well, I'm ditching this POS then.
Time to find a good defrag program.
