About 10 minutes ago, my laptop screen suddenly went black as if the laptop had turned off, but then suddenly came back on. This only happened after I had clicked on my Photoshop, so I thought nothing of it, until tiny red and green bars started showing up on my screen, distorting it. They went away for about 30 seconds, enough time to pull up Google Chrome, when it did the same black screen. Screen popped back on and I looked at chrome to see it all distorted and such. Parts of the program were duplicated distortions to the left of it, and there were the same green and red bars inhabiting the screen.
I restarted my computer manually, and when the start up screen came on, the normal white loading bars and text were turned red and doing abnormal flashing. The windows logo appeared and there were more red and green bars across the logo. I went to the log-on screen to see any difference and suddenly part of the log-on screen became distorted. Basically, part of my account icon left it's place and went to my parent's icon and the rest of my icon became distorted. I restarted the computer again.
At the boot screen, it asked me if I wanted to restart in safe mode, normally, or to the last point where there was good conditions. I didn't choose, as I was too busy staring at the flashing red bars behind the text. I just shut it down.
I know it isn't a virus, since I scanned my computer an hour ago and haven't gone anywhere untrustworthy. I think it may be a hardware problem, as I was holding the laptop in an awkward position beforehand. I have held it like that before, though, so I'm not completely sure.
Any help with this would be great, as my laptop has ALL my primary stuff on it, and it'd be a bad blow to lose it.
