Re: dvd movie problem

that's strange... the last time i had the same symptom (logo distorted during bootup), i was able to pin it down to RAM.

the symptom that you see (lines in logo during boot) is obviously hardware as no operating system has been started at this point yet. reseat your RAM first or use a known working module (at the moment, just for testing) to see if it improves anything. if this does not work still, remove the hard drive and reboot (yes, physically remove the hard drive. it will not GO into Windows but will certainly give you the DELL logo before it shows the error).
