Multiple squiggly lines fill the LCD screen, after

Multiple squiggly lines of 3 or 4 colours fill the LCD screen, after a few moments it goes blank, requiring a re-boot. In safe mode all is fine.
This is on a Toshiba M60 with a Nvidea GeForce Go 6600 GPU.
The new Nvidea driver installer does not recognised any valid drivers to replace. The bios seems to be the latest.

Sounds to me like your inverter has gone bad. Typically it's situated just below your LCD. To get to it you will have to take out the screws around the LCD bezel. It's a long, skinny circuit board that the LCD plugs into. You can usually find a replacement on Ebay. Just be sure that you're ordering the correct part, otherwise it may not fit or work properly. I've also had times when the entire LCD was going bad and the display was full of squiggly lines. It's hard to say which one is the cause. I would try replacing the inverter first. That part is usually much cheaper than the LCD is.

My inspiron 1525 is running weird. When i start it up sometimes it loads fine, other times the screen will start flashing multiple colours, or have lines of colours. What could be the problem?

Looks to me like your LCD cable is loose. You simply need to reseat the LCD cable. If you needs steps to do so I can provide them just let me know.

Vertical colour lines on whole screen

The problem is that the panel has failed. Apparently this is a common problem with LCD TV's between 18 mths and 3 yrs old. If it survives over 3 yrs it is likely to last for a few years longer. The cost of replacing the panel is more than a replacement TV!
