This one has me very concerned and confused.
I put a SSD (replaced the original HHD) in this computer years ago and it has run great ever since. This weekend I put a second SSD in the computer. I used it for a couple of days without any issues, all seemed great. Then my son was watching a video on the computer, the video became slower, the voice got slower and lower pitched and stuttering/glitching. Then the computer shut down automatically and powered back on automatically. The loading image and tone came on but it froze with the vertical line similar to what is in the image. It did not go past the half way mark for the progress bar during the start up.
Now the only image I get is the one shown in the picture. It makes the boot up tone and this is as far as the computer goes.
Wondering what I should do to fix it. I am hoping it is just a loose connection since I worked on it this weekend. Hoping the SSD's are not the issue. Any ideas will be helpful.

Looks like this may be the same issue I am having. [post|648664|ANSWER?|new_window=true] I hope this is not the same issue I am having because I do not feel like trying to replace the GPU. But, if I have to replace it, I guess it will be time to learn something new.
