hi! found this site after a google search for computer help!
so i recently bought 4 acer veriton L410 PC's as i want something small for a media PC and also a friend does.
First of all after trying many times on a couple of them i can not get windows 7 to boot!
it goes through the install process fine but towards the end when it re-boots to then boot the OS from the hard drive it just wont boot, it comes up with "verifying DMI pool data........... update success" and just hangs there
if i install either windows XP or Vista it doesnt have this problem and boots the OS fine.
i cant understand why this is its really bugging me!
secondly one of the 4 machines after installing windows (vista) and during the install the screen keeps loosing the signal from the machine, "no signal from pc" i know for sure the T.V im using and the cables are fine as they work fine with the others, i have installed the drivers for teh machine from Acer site.
i swapped out the RAM (long shot i think but worth a try) and no change, i think its likley to be a problem with the video card which i believe is on board, and i dont think its possible to put another card into this machine, there is no PCI/PCI-E slots.
any advice here would be great!
