Msg: Intel (r) Grantsdale-G PCI Accelerated SVGA BIOS
On my dell dimension E310 lately, whenever I turn it on, it immidiately goes to a black screen with the following message:
Intel (r) Grantsdale-G PCI Accelerated SVGA BIOS
Build Number: 3414 PC Dev 04/12/2004 17:02:24
DECOMPILATION OR DISASSEMBLY PROHIBITED
Copyright (c) 2000-2003 Intel Corp. All Rights Reserved.
The screen is frozen and neither my mouse nor my keyboard turn on. I have tried a few things including trying to toggle the CMOS jumper and password jumper, but it didnt do anything. I think I may need to replace my motherboard battery, but I'm not sure. If anyone has experienced this problem or knows how to fix it, can you help me?

Also, Majestic, the computer does not have a PCI video card. The monitor is connected directly to the integrated video. Do you think I might need to buy a PCI video card to fix the problem?

If the machine still fails to boot then strip the motherboard down to the bare minimum. By bare minimum I mean remove all expansion cards, disconnect all drives and leave just the processor, memory and graphics card in the machine after reseating them. If the computer boots this way then start connecting each device one at a time until the no boot scenario returns. This would then indicate which device has failed and is causing the problem. Also try booting the system without the keyboard, mouse or any other device plugged into the rear of the system. A faulty USB device has been known to cause problems. If you have more than one memory module (pair with RDRAM) installed then try booting with only one and then swap them around and try again. If you only have one memory module (pair with RDRAM) then try booting without any memory modules installed. Also try swapping the graphics card for another one. If this procedure doesn't resolve the problem then you maybe looking at a situation where the motherboard.
