| 414168 | 2005-12-20 03:29:00 | Heh, 90 percent of the boards I sell don't have an intergrated video chipset You must sell heavily to gamers / over-clockers, because if you go to any large reseller, 90% of the motherboards will have some form of on-board video. Anyhow, I assume anyone would be intelligent enough not to remove the only available video source if it didn't. |

| 414169 | 2005-12-20 03:34:00 | No, I just sell good computers, a basic system with a low end video card is a powerhouse compared to a system crippled by onboard video. Only systems I sell with intergrated video are one that are going to spend their life in an office, Though I supose that shows I have failed to make a dent in the ultra-lucritive office market. Anyhow, Your "assume they aren't that stupid" is a good call, though it wouldn't surprise me if someone took it onboard and removed their only display device... |

| 414170 | 2005-12-20 03:52:00 | Hi, thx for the replies. I already tried that...it will start to install windows XP, I enter the CD Key and it continues to install. Then 9 mins till it finishes the PC just shuts down. | Havion (9450) | ||
| 414171 | 2005-12-20 04:03:00 | I would suspect you have a faulty stick of ram, remove all but one and try again. | Metla (12) | ||
| 414172 | 2005-12-20 04:13:00 | No, I just sell good computers, a basic system with a low end video card is a powerhouse compared to a system crippled by onboard video. Only systems I sell with intergrated video are one that are going to spend their life in an office, I have to say while I do sell boards with integrated video - these are for non-gamers who will only be doing the usual email, word processing etc, all those boards have both the onboard VGA and an AGP or PCI-E slot. SO that if they chnage their minds or later find its not good enough it can have a graphics card added. Metla is right - read any review on integrated video and it never is as good as a separate card. |

| 414173 | 2005-12-20 05:14:00 | Well it found the ram in BIOS, could it still be faulty? | Havion (9450) | ||
| 414174 | 2005-12-20 05:18:00 | Finding the RAM in the BIOS most certainly does not mean that it is not faulty. Try what Metla recommended. |

| 414175 | 2005-12-20 05:45:00 | Apparently this is frowned upon and you will have to re-activate if you have XP...........not necessarily and I speak from considerable experience...... | drcspy (146) | ||
| 414176 | 2005-12-20 06:54:00 | Apparently this is frowned upon and you will have to re-activate if you have XP...........not necessarily and I speak from considerable experience...... I'm glad you have 'considerable experience' as opposed to someone who has only done it twice... pat yourself on the back :thumbs: |
