Re upgrading memory which is quite cheap now, I thought that an upgrade would be beneficial anyway.	gradebdan (2186)

Once the ZIP file is downlaoded, you extract the ISO file, thats what gets burnt. When you made the CD, did the PC boot from it, and run through a test of the memory test, should look like This here (www.imagef1.net.nz). If not did the CD even Boot ? DID YOU MANAGE TO RUN THE TEST and did it find any faults ?? you will see it running through, let it do at least 2-3 complete runs, if anything shows in Red, the Memory is damaged and the test can be stopped at that point. Theres no point in changing hardware if its not faulty. If the Memory is OK, then as mentioned by others It could be graphic card. You may need to make sure the optical drive is the first boot device. If it is, then try downlaoding Image Burn, you open the program, Click top left, right Image File to Disk, select your loccation of the ISO file you extracted, then hit the button at the bottom of the page. Boot from that to run the test. Changing memory is easy, but you first need to find out if the current stuff is faulty, if its not then changing it wont fix your problem with the lines.	wainuitech (129)
