BIOS converted to code??????

My BIOS has been converted into code. I don't know how it happened or why but I don't know what to do. I haven't dropped my computer and it has not over heated. I was having problems with my operating systems so I reinstalled it and when I did the BIOS was in this weird language/code and I don't know if this is a serious problem or something easy to fix.

    You could try reseating your video card to see if it makes any difference!

    Yeah the Dell screen is in code and I don't know why.  I was having problems because I got a virus a while ago.  It was affecting my operating systems so I reinstalled XP and after I did that the BIOS screen turned into gibberish.  I am also having a problem with my video card and I think they are somewhat related but I am not sure

    That depends on the model number of your notebook.

    Did you try loading the BIOS and ensure "Quickboot" or "Boot Logo" is enabled?
