I just opened my pc , went to the kitchen and when came back it was showing colourful lines (dazzling yellow orange colours),,, got tensed switched it off ,when turned on my lcd showed no signal did turned on and off few times then it worked but loaded slowly here are my queries -
friend told me that possible reason is overheating due to dust (i have never serviced my pc from purchase time 3 yrs+) is this the reason if so then do i need to service my cpu from HCL people as it has a seal to be opened by HCl people only if any other thing u could suggest PLZ HELP IAM SCARED:?::?::?::?::?::?::?::?::?:

cant tell you exactly what is wrong with your pc.... but as you said it loaded slowly, i guess it has something to do with either dust clogging or may be that your hdd is on the verge of crashing.... try defragmenting it and do clean your cabby from inside as 3+ years without any cleaning is a lot of time.... no idea abt whather to call hcl or not as i always had an assembled pc, but i thing they give their warranty only for 1 year and then you can open your cabby.... but do confirm it from someone who knows....

Yes, you better service the PC if you have not opened it from 3 years. Dust can be a reason.

just replace that hdd and then check pc.... also better upgrade your ram and add a 2gb stick.... would cost you around 2k-2.2k.... and please get your pc cleaned....
