I was playing World of warcraft, when all of a sudden my computer screen became covered in pink dots, then it crashed, now whenever I try to start it up normally the screen is just black, i have tried system restore, updating my drivers, and resetting and unplugging the pc outlet, thank you for any answers

I am currently posting in safe mode. Sorry for any typos.

So you can boot fine in safe mode. After the BIOS screen , press f8 to get into the windows boot menu. if there is the option, try booting into vga mode.

If i have pressed f8 at what i believe to be the BIOS menu it opened the advance startup options, in which i say no option for a VGA mode

I don't think thats the virus, can you give us a list of the first couple of options?
