Boot TS - Video BIOS Message Displayed, Then System Hangs

[ The PC Guide | Troubleshooting and Repair Guide | The Troubleshooting Expert | Troubleshooting Boot Problems | Boot Problem Troubleshooting Walkthrough ]

Explanation: The system is starting the boot process by initializing the video adapter. The adapter's BIOS is displaying the message but then the boot process is stopping.

Diagnosis: There is most likely a problem with the video card or less likely, the motherboard or system devices.

Recommendation:

Troubleshoot as an apparent video card failure.
If the problem turns out not to be the video card then suspect a motherboard problem.
