Hi
I have an Icon 3200. vista business. As built it had 512mb, I ordered an extra 1gb with the pc. Total mem now 1.5gb. It has run happily for a week, but DVD playback is choppy, even on the preinstalled sample videos.
Yesterday morning I upped the graphics reserved memory from 64 to 512 in BIOS. Restarted ok, and gave me extra screen resolutions. PC ran ok all day.
Yesterday evening two updates came down: security update and VIA graphics update. Installed both and PC would not restart. It got to the vista slug crawling across the screen then rebooted. I rolled back to the restore point prior to the updates and rebooted ok.
I installed the security update (which did not ask for a restart), switched off and went to bed.
This morning I'm back to failure to boot. I uninstalled the security update, no change. Went back to bios and downgraded the reserved graphics memory to 64mb. The PC, now just as it was yesterday morning, booted.
Obviously I can do trial and error to find out which is the ultimate culprit, but has anyone else had these problems? Any ideas?
