There must be some kind of virus that simultaneously puts multiple vertical lines on the screen plus won't allow the computer to boot up. Right when windows start to load, the computer goes to hibernate.

There's no way to bring up my computer.

I have a new graphics card (< year old) and a new monitor (about 2 years old).

So here's my question:

Is there some bug that causes vertical lines plus won't allow the computer to fully boot up?

Thank you kindly.
