Decompilation message
I have recently bought a couple of Dell Optiplex GX280 second hand, I have built one no problem, updated bios, installed sata drive and xp pro ect ect...
But when I come to boot the next machine I get this message
Intel(r) Grantsdale-G PCI Accelerated SVGA BIOS
Build Number: 3329 PC Dev 04/12/2004 17:02:24
DECOMPILATION OR DISASSEMBLY PROHIBITED

I cant go into the Bios, neither can I boot with a dos boot disk/windows boot disk ect....
I Bought them without hard drives, and have put a seagate 160gb sata II hard disk on this machine, the ram/psu/processor ect all checks out fine, I am sure I booted into the bios yesterday, and may have also put a XT800 Radeon PCI-X card on it briefly before changing my mind and putting it on another machine.
A,B,C lights are all green, D light is Yellow, I have checked up on this and it just means "other" in the error department, which as you can imagine is no help at all.
Any Help would be greatly aprreciated.
- Found a fix that worked for me. Our issue occurred while replacing memory sticks and it the re-boot got stuck at that screen. We pulled the power cord and let all power drain out of the board, pulled the memory out and put it back in, then restarted. Booted up fine - the initial problem happened because we replaced the memory without pulling the cord and I guess the bios was still running when I swapped memory (this ws never a problem with older PC's but I'm told the P4's don't like it).
