You should format your hard drive and start fresh

still have these vertical lines all across the blue hp welcome screen. also
The dvd drive sounds noisy especially at high speed when booting to start
windows. The sound is a noisy buzz rather than the usual whoosh sound

The post you are responding to was not by myself, it was posted by an
imposter that takes pride in harming users computer systems.

It could be a graphics chip failure, or a problem with the display panel.
I would boot an alternate OS, and see if the same display problems exist.
If they do, you may need a warranty hardware repair (before the warranty
is expired).
I use a Knoppix LiveCD for that purpose (knopper.net). You can also
try a Ubuntu CD if you want, as it allows booting directly from the
CD as well. The advantage of a LiveCD, is nothing is installed on
your hard drive. All the software runs directly from the CD. The
OS won't allow the CD to be removed from the drive, until the
session is complete and you indicate you wish to shut down. Then
the CD will be ejected. (There are workarounds in some cases, but
that is a basic description of how a LiveCD works.)
This is the Knoppix desktop, after booting is complete. I use
my Knoppix CD, mainly for maintaining my Windows C:/ drive.

This is Ubuntu, from ubuntu.com . The download for the CD is
large, but it is free. I have at least a half dozen different
versions on CDs (or DVDs) here, for testing purposes. Because
there are no decent games, I can't stay in this environment
(I managed to get Quake3 Arena running, but that was it.)

So all you have to do is
1) Download a 700MB ISO9660 file from one of the mirror sites.
2) Burn a CD with it, using something like Nero or equivalent.
3) Reboot the computer, using the new CD.
4) Look at the screen. Does it have the lines ?
5) Find the main menu for the OS, and select shutdown from the
logoff options. The shutdown sequence should tell you when
you can remove the CD.
There are undoubtedly other bootable CDs around that you
could use for the test. You want something that won't mess
up any hard drives.
HTH,

For the archives, this is a forged post and the advice is bogus.
