Firstly, the fan on my Nvidia 8400gs died about two years ago. Since then I have been purchasing and replacing new fans myself whenever they start to make weird noises or fail so I am quite familiar with the procedure.
Today I went out and bought a fan and tried replacing it when I got home. When i started the PC the new fan did not turn at all and for some reason I thought there was some kind of problem with the voltage so I pulled the fan's plug from the GPU card without turning off the computer. I don't know if it had anything to do with me pulling the plug from the GPU but from then the startup didn't seem right so i turned off the pc, put back the noisy fan that works and started up again.
The Dell logo had some lines and dots going down it as such:http://i265.photobucket.com/albums/ii207/pistolero983/pc err...G_1489.jpg
Then the little windows loading animation had some gaps in the lines on the bottom part of it: http://i265.photobucket.com/albums/ii207/pistolero983/pc err...G_1488.jpg http://i265.photobucket.com/albums/ii207/pistolero983/pc err...G_1490.jpg
After this the screen goes black and there is a quick flash of a blue screen and then it starts over again.
I was able to try F2 for the setup screen and this is what I got:

However the screens on Safe Mode with Networking seem ok, there are none of those lines and dots going down the screen:

I should add that i've had many problems with other fans before and I've tinkered with the gpu a lot, this probably isn't the first time i've pulled the fan plug from the gpu itself while the pc is running. I've also run the pc a few times while the fan was completely stuck and not rotating and i've never had this problem before.
This is the first time this has happened to me. I've had other errors before but nothing like this.
Sorry for the long *** first post but this really sucks
