Ive got an Aries laptop model 8575 with a strange problem. When booting up
the screen is a horrible green colour which seems to shimmer. Once booted
into windows everything appears normal appart from sometimes a black area
will appear as this horrible green colour. If I open a dos box the
background is this green colour instead of black.
The graphics card is an SiS650 and I have the latest drivers. The Bios is
Insyde SCU.
I think that this might be a Bios problem as it manifest itself before the
Windows drivers are installed. I cant find an updated Bios for this.
Anyone got an idea of how I should tackle this?
Cheers,
Iain

Not many ideas but it is a Bios problem, or at least a problem before
Windows starts so therefore a minimum screen in VGA, 16 coulours. I
dont have many ideas but perhaps turning off Use IRQ for VGA (or
similar) in the Bios might help..

Perhaps too, check that you dont have both an intergrated graphics
card and a slot-in card active at the same time, it might be a
conflict . If your system does have both then turn off the intergrated
video in the Bios and see what happens (or leave it on and plug your
screen into that connector to see if it makes any difference).
