Doesn't display anything? Or just misses the RAM count?

Does it carry on booting afterwards?

gallagher120

yeah, but wont display anything, most of the time it does but sometimes it dosent!

Normally the memory count only occurs on a power on or a hard reset.

E.g. on mine it only appears on power up or when u use the reset button on the front to restart it. It never shows using a normal windows restart.

nope not done anything!! i'm puzzled, yeah it bleeps

beemerboy

if it beeps a few times (can remember how many) and then just sits there on a black screen, try removing the ram and reseating it!!
or try another slot/ another ram stick etc.

process of elimination.
if that dont cure it, you may have to go down the bios reflash route, failing that could be a Motherboard fault.

just have to try a few things...

good luck
