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

ThanksHave 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.Follow the suggestion of mombodog http://en.community.dell.com/support-forums/desktop/f/3514/p/18701213/18824199.aspx
