Hi all.
I dual booted my 2710 with Windows 10 Tech Preview recently and everything was running great.... until yesterday when the newest update dropped. Ran once, and has had this mysterious booting issue ever since. Blank screen, no POST that I can see and my external monitor shows nothing also. OSD controls are lit and working.
I reset the cell battery, reset the bios pins and restarted with no ram. Two beeps. Next time, five beeps. All according to plan right?
I installed one stick of Ram...nothing. The other stick...nothing. Both sticks... bios menu somehow. Next try, I get the Dell logo and up and booting. I noticed that out of 6g of ram, only 2g are cooperating.
So, do I have the dreaded motherboard/graphics glitch for this machine? Other thoughts or testing to try?
If it is the motherboard/graphics, how do I identify it to find a replacement?
