A bunch of zeros? possible problem
ok something like seeing a bunch of zeros appear on your bios screen isn't fishy at all.
next windows fails to even load.
this computer is also dual screen and only one of screen is displaying.

what do you think? virus or system overheat?

I might post screens of this issue if it keeps happening.

fishy objects are also downloaded prior to this event.

Screens:

all screens up to the windows boot up screen are covered in zeros. even then the windows boot up isn't 100% normal

I concur. Try booting off the on-board if you have it... If not then... You're hosed...

RE: A bunch of zeros? possible problem
to eliminate the g-card/s get a cheap card and try it but i do concur that it sounds like the graphics card. i assume its normal for both screens to light up at the bios? also does it do it from cold or does it do it all the time? is it a single card or sli config or twin/tri/quad cards? little more info needed here.

as a general rule of thumb - if you can get to the bios screen and get past it then the bios is fine (if the bios was even slightly corrupted it simply wouldnt pass the bios) the fact that you describe the bios screen as having zeros and the windows bootup being abnormal really does mean a very likely possibility of a hardware failure in either the graphics or memory (possibly even the motherboard but that's unlikely, however not impossible), however memory is less likely than g-card as the bios would most likely detect an error there.

i would unplug everything from the pc internally and replug it all back in then simply try booting again and see if anything changes. if nothing changes strongly suspect the graphics card/s, then try and test the parts on a seperate machine if at all possible. the unplug is simply to eliminate dirty connectors as a cause, simply because replugging the parts back in changes the contact and can remove corrosion or dirt.

sorry for the very long post.

Always remember - Google is your friend :)
