Super Bad Virus? Can't Even Reformat!

I think I have a virus but I've never seen anything like it. My screen has
flashing verticle lines and I can hardly see the screen. I used GoBack to
try to revert the drive and it didn't help. I can't even get a boot disk to
work because I can't see past the lines. I tried re-seating my video card.
Nothing. What can I do? I can't even reformat the drive. Any ideas?

When you boot with a boot disk in, does the computer see the floppy and
boot
from it? If so, I think you either have a video card or a monitor going
bad. Try your monitor on a different machine and that monitor on yours.
I can't tell if it's booting from the floppy because of the all lines on the
screen. As windows boots up the patterns change. Once windows loads my mouse
turns into a one inch square. I can still connect to my files with Remote
Administrator (similar to go-to-my-pc) but when I go into screen mode the
screen in the viewer window looks just like the screen of the remote (bad)
computer.
