Solution:
Unfortunately I can only explain one problem to you but if you will provide with some information we we will get to the bottom of the next.
The problem I can tell you about is the one with the “a”-s. This appears when the Operating System from your computer is not installed properly. If you want I can elaborate to exactly where it gets from but there are a lot of technical terms. Basically the installation was done wrong by the program, it is nothing you can set manually, so I recommend either choosing other version of Windows or at least another CD.
And if you have Linux installed (which is another Operating System in case you did not know that) it also tampers with the “a”-s so it would be best to remove it, or reinstall it.
The system’s fault was responsible for the error when you tried to install the graphics board. Choosing another system or another CD will rid you of the screen of doom.
Considering the blue stripes I need to know if they remain when the computer boots up with the new system as well, or they just appear at boot-up. If they remain then I suggest trying another monitor, if you have the possibility to connect your laptop to any external monitors then by all means do so. We need to know if it is the monitor’s fault or not.
I hope I will get a reply soon, and also that I have been helpful.
Best of luck,

Extra:
When i dissconect the laptop monitor and i connect another monitor i dosen’t boot up from the external monitor.
ive installed windows 3 times I had Vista Home premium And it stoped booting up from it and then I installed Windows Vista Ultimate 2 times and it worked perfectly but i still had the problem of the blue stripes and the a’s
when i had ultimate i installed the GPU Drivers thats when the blue screen of doom came on.
The blue stipes are on all the time even when it boot ups normaly into windows ultimate.
Could u still help me?
Thanks in advance,

Solution:
Windows Vista Ultimate is a particular program that requires high qualifications to properly set with all the drivers, and fixed system (such as laptops) have to be set in special modes (most likely BIOS settings are necessary). Do you have any knowledge on how to set BIOS parameters on your laptop ? If not, you will have to find someone who does, it could be something simple.
I will assume you know how to do that or have a acquaintance who does so I will tell you that the “AGP Apperture Size” must be set to a lower level, and if it does not do the trick, the RAM latency timers must be reduced.
However, it is highly likely that your GPU providers have not fully resolved all compatibility problems between the Graphics Board and Windows Vista Ultimate so installing those drivers is not such a good idea for now. I suggest describing the problem also in a contact form on the website of your GPU provider and they may release a new version of your driver that will be safely installed on Windows Vista Ultimate.
The blue stripes still sounds to me like a monitor malfunction. Your laptop should be able to provide another monitor exit so that you can connect two monitors at the same time, one being the original one so it can actually boot and another one with the exact same image (that’s easily set and should happend automatically) so that you may check if there are stripes on the other monitor as well.
Good luck,
