Recently I have had a problem at boot up.  The bout up proceeds OK to Log in
and after Login the screen appears with many different size vertcal stripes
of different colors and widths.  I have never seen it on a computer before.
The screen is frozen, CTRL,ALT,DEL does nothing, I have to turn off
manually, boot up in safe mode, then restart and it will usually boot
normally.
Any ideas as to cause??

I see this a lot with ATI graphics cards.
It's an indicator that the graphics card is on the road to complete failure.

You were correct, it was a bad ATI card, thanks for your help.
