Video or RAM conflicts?

**Stonemug** · 08-25-2003, 06:40 PM

I just purchased a PC and am in the process of loading Koppnix. The PC boots fine and gives no errors until after the loading screen. The loading screen I'm referring to is the screen with the penguin at the top and all the different colored writing. After this point the software tells me to wait a few seconds for the display to get setup. I waited 15 minutes. I turned the screen brightness all the way up and the screen is scrambled, almost like the static on a TV screen when you can't get good reception. This is an IBM PC with 64M of RAM and a Compaq monitor. The video card on this PC is built into the motherboard. I have attached a picture of the screen, when the unit gives me the problem I stated. The picture can be found at the following URL. Any help would be appreciated

I have the same problem. See "Initialization Error" in this same Forum.
