I built a computer out of some spare parts, and I'm having a very weird issue with the integrated graphics.
Computer Specs:
Intel 915GUX Desktop mATX Motherboard
Pentium 4 531 3.00GHz Processor (1MB L2, Hyperthreading)
SparklePower 350W PSU
OCZ DDR2 1066 running at 533 MHz (What the motherboard supports)
Anyway, the computer usually POSTs fine, but once I try to start any OS (tried two Linux distros and Win7) it does this:
I have gone through the BIOS and changed all the settings relating to the integrated graphics with no success. The processor has been tested (though not by me) and is supposedly working. Everything else I have used previously and works. The motherboard was new (sealed). Am I dealing with a defective integrated graphics chip? That just seems really unlikely. Any ideas you could provide would be much appreciated; I'd like to get this working. Unfortunately, I don't have a videocard I can use, but it seems odd that the graphics chip would POST fine but then crash. Thanks in advance for your help.
