Is it supposed to be dual channel - typically in my limited experience you have four RAM slots in two pairs. If you have two equal-sized
sticks
of RAM, they should be in same-coloured sockets.
That explains it.
Dunno. Unless you get better advice, look for a BIOS upgrade. It
doesn't
look good.
Doesn't seem to affect the system, but I'll keep eyes on it.
It's not the screen, I'm sure of that:-) You could try various
vga/vesa
framebuffer drivers, they might work.
Not sure what that means.
You could also try booting with VGA=794 (VGA791 if that doesn't work). It might not help X (but it might), but if it works, you will have
very
nice virtual consoles: I get 160x64 on my laptop.
Ok....
Backup the data (Knoppix helps here, or simply find the NTFS tools),
and
reinstall Windows. DO NOT reformat the partition, and do have a rescue disk for Linux handy:-)
Hopefully, Windows will sort itself out.
I'll pick it up under vmware once I have larger screens. Meanwhile, the data is accessible and relatively safe.
Windows is definitely off-topic, and I've given too much advice
already.
But I thank you from the bottom of my cold, cold heart anyway. :-)
