A while ago I got brought a PC that came with a Bio-star MCP6P M2+ mainboard and 2x Rendition 2GB sticks of RAM.<\/p>\n
All was fine for a year or so then the computer started to have boot problems. Booting as far as the windows logo then just black screening.<\/p>\n
I found an update for the BIOS that was specifically related to an error of this kind, updated it, but to no effect.<\/p>\n
As a process of elimination I removed both RAM sticks and got the “no ram” beeps. I added one RAM stick and it booted into windows ok.
\nWhen I added the second RAM stick back in the computer just went to a black screen, no windows logo.<\/p>\n
With only one RAM stick I can get it to boot into windows about half the time, otherwise I still get the black screen after the windows logo.<\/p>\n
I have done all the usual software related troubleshooting, reinstalls etc but with no sucess so im left wondering if this is a hardware issue. I have iliminated the graphics card being at fault as this worked in the PC orriginally and works in another machine. I have used another HD to install to but the problem persists.<\/p>\n
I am not particularly technically minded and have exhausted what i know about PC’s. Is anyone able to offer any suggestions\/soloutions? If any further information is required i will happily provide it, so long as i can find it or be told where to find it.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":5,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"inline_featured_image":false,"iawp_total_views":15},"question-category":[47],"question_tags":[],"class_list":["post-6594","question","type-question","status-publish","hentry","question-category-hardware"],"jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/computing.net\/answers\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/question\/6594","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/computing.net\/answers\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/question"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/computing.net\/answers\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/question"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/computing.net\/answers\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/5"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/computing.net\/answers\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=6594"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/computing.net\/answers\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=6594"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"question-category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/computing.net\/answers\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/question-category?post=6594"},{"taxonomy":"question_tags","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/computing.net\/answers\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/question_tags?post=6594"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
