Dell PC BIOS does not start

by rrichmond . Updated 15 years, 7 months ago

HAve a Dell Optiplex 620. When it is booted, no bios occurs that I can see. The only output to the monitor is “RV370 P/N 113-A62901-103 BIOS”. Moved hard drive to an identical PC and received the same output. I am wondering if anyone has seen/resolved this before as a search on Google yields nothing.

Follow-up: It appears that some RAm was to blame. When I switched the Hard Drive to the new PC I also moved 2 sticks of RAM. My associate removed the RAM as a trial and the PC booted. Additionally, we had a problem with the video card. I replaced it and all is well. However, I have never seen a bad stick of RAM stop the boot process and diplay that kind of message.??
