    Hi.

    Yesterday I bought 1Gb of extra ram to put in my AAO A110. Everything went perfect when putting it in the RAM-slot, but when I tried to start the computer everything was dead except the powerbutton and the CPUfan running on idle speed (or even slower?). After some research I understood that I had gotten the BSOD, Black screen of death - Faulty BIOS. I have tried FN + Esc with new BIOS-FD on a FAT formatted USB-stick without success. (Renamed .FD file and .exe file also on the USB-stick) The computer starts blinking as it should, but it wont boot up after those 3-7 minutes. I have waited like 30 minutes on that `blinking process` and have done the whole BIOS update like five times without getting it to work.

    Anyone have any idea of what I can or should do?

    What the fu*k. I now removed the extra ram and the computer booted up as normal.

    The problem now is that the screen is 4:3 and the bottom part of the windows-screen (~20%) is mirrored on the very bottom of the screen. The right side of the screen in black-

    I suppose all I can do is laugh. :lol: :roll:

    This is so wierd that even I don't know what to think..

    I opened up the computer once again and put in the extra 1Gb of ram. Now the computer worked properly with the screen, and with the new memmory.

    Well, no help needed..
