Hello all. I have a Dell XPS-1640 that the keyboard turns on during an initial boot and then immediately turns off. There are no logo displays at all~~BSOD!

My question is..does this sound like a videocard issue?

Many thanks!

I just switched the memory and turned the laptop back on and all I got was the keyboard lit up. Nothing came on the display and it shut itself backdown within 5 seconds.

Thanks
