Took a look at a friends compuer yesterday, she said it wasn't working and doing very strange things. I turned it on, loads normally until it gets to the Windows XP loading screen, it just restarts itself. Also, there are loads of vertical lines on the screen where the XP logo is on a black background.

If I go into safe mode, the computer will load, but there are no icons on the desktop and no programs installed. In Device Manager there is a yellow ! beside a PCI to USB controller - not too sure what this is... Its a PIII, says 32mb of ram at startup (I know, but she said it has been working fine for months before this)

Any suggestions?
