If upgrading RAM, a black DOS based screen will show stating “the amount of RAM in system has changed”, wait 1minute and the computer will beep and prompt for F1 (boot normally) or F2 (run system setup utility). Pressing F2 and waiting some time will allow the computer to reconfigure and then boot into Windows normally.
