(solved)would 2 gb ram for my intel mothre board spoil the boot

So the problem is not being able to install Win 7 using a CRT monitor ?

When you disabled the graphics card before, that should have invoked the on board VGA or do you have to plug the monitor into a separate port/socket for the VGA ?

No. what i say is your view that mobo monitor and os are interlinked in a way that computer works. My problem as i described is that my tech installed the os with his lcd monitor, which could not be booted with my crt monitor. my repeated attempts to startup repair totally made it impossible to even attempt to repair.
                                 I came across this in my googling about problems in installing the win 7,  which you could do by simply removing the video card and then replace after the os install. But i do not know the technicalities involved in attempting as i thought that if you do not have video card, then you cannot see anything in the monitor. Hence i asked for your advice. I tried disabling the pc express in bios, but it was not successful.
                                       Better dispose the old computer and go for new one would be  the best possible solution. If mobo is replaced  then other parts would be incompatible and i have to change every part. i could as well a assembled new one instead. but if there is anything could be done to give life to this old pc which played with me for more than ten years, i would be happy to work with this one. if it is a small problem of soldering somewhere in mobo then it it ok .thanks for your advice.

Samson:
Have you tried starting up by using "Enable low-resolution video (640x480)" in the boot options?

Then perhaps you could try uninstalling  and then reinstalling the graphics card and setting it to a compatible resolution for your monitor?

Be sure to have the appropriate drivers somewhere handy  :wink:

Boggin:
On a desktop you would normally have a graphics card which you could uninstall in Device Manager, but booting up into Safe Mode will also isolate the GPU and use the on board VGA instead and then perhaps you could right click on the desktop and select Screen resolution to see if you can improve it.

My last link gives settings to use for a CRT monitor providing your monitor is capable of the higher settings.

I'm still not clear on the RAM - does it work with 2x1GB sticks in the blue bank or not ?

Hi, all
               It turned out to be failure of mother board. Firstly, i got the message cpu was shut down due to thermal heat (over heating ) press f4 to resume. But subsequently, this has also stopped and my monitor went blank, even though i could see the windows installation going on with hdd indicator.
                           The technician told me to change the mb and processor and matched processor fan. I have done that after there is no problem. Now i am back as usual. Thanks for willy and boggins and samson
