Re: [Simply Computers] Intel D915GAV Won't Boot

 

Although it sees the DVD and I can make it the first boot device, it
will not work.

The computer checks memory, It will display attached drives, then stop.
The screen goes blank.

I have checked through the bios for anything that would change the
behavior. I have the install guide from online.
