    Won't get past initial screen
    « on: January 02, 2012, 09:45:57 PM »
    Hi
    Not so long ago i tried installing windows 7 on my desktop PC
    It seemed to install ok but then out of the blue the computer seemed to fail
    now when i turn it on it just goes to a black screen which reads:

    INTEL (r)Q33/Q35/G33 PCI Accelerated SVGA BIOS
    Build Number: 1471 PC 14.27 (DATE)
    DECOMPILATION OR DISASSEMBLY PROHIBITED

    And that's it!
    I can't seem to do anything else   ???
    I have checked all the connections, which all seem sound and i just replaced the CMOS battery so that is good

    So any suggestions!!!
    Any help is much appreciated  ;D

    Thanks

    Have you checked your RAM? I have had a similar thing happen with a faulty stick of RAM causing the BIOS to freeze mid-post.

      Hey Transfusion
      All the Ram boards seem to be located correctly
      How do i check if they are faulty
      Should the system run up without the RAM installed?

      Thanks in advance for your help!
      Cheers

      You will need a known working computer to troubleshoot your RAM-download http://www.memtest.org/  and run it for 10 passes. It will indicate if there is a read/write error if your RAM is faulty.

      Try one stick of ram in the different slots (could be bad stick or a bad slot), i would also try a reinstall of the os.
