Well, this sucks... |

My laptop's basically dead. For some shitty reason, ever since Sunday, every time I try to log on normally, the screen flickers like crazy, and then the screen turns black and there's these tiny white lines on the corner of the screen that appear. It won't do that if I go into Safe Mode. Everything will be fine. It's just going into Windows Vista normally that fucks things up with the screen.
I was with Dell's Tech Support for an hour until they basically said to reformat the laptop. I back up everything, I talk to Dell's Tech Support again to help me go through the steps of reformatting the laptop, and that didn't do anything. Basically, the Tech guy said there's something wrong with the video card or something and I have to send it to Dell for them to check it out. It'll be about a week or something until I get it back.
This sucks.
Before anyone asks, yes, I'm using my parents' computer right now and yes, I am surprisingly computer illiterate.
On the sort of bright side, I bought myself that Western Digital Passport 320GB External Hard Drive and it works like a charm. Backed up all my shit on that thing. I was going to buy one much later... but then this stupid crap happened.
