I went into BIOS setup and changed Integrated Devices (LegacySelect Options)
and changed the Onboard Video Buffer from 1mb to 8mb.
Voila!
Here's my issue after installing Windows 7 Pro on a SX270 SFF. I go into BIOS. I change the video buffer from 1mb to 8mb. When I go into Windows the graphics are perfect until I reboot. The BIOS keeps changing the buffer back to 1MB. I have did this on two SX270's. Is there a fix to keep that 8mb from changing after every shutdown, reboot? Thanks!

Thanks a million
Yeah, it seems the shortest and simplest fix is often the best fix. Man, you are a genius mate. I been messing with this for a week now, following about 30-40 different advice installing, uninstalling, new drivers, on the fone to manufactures acer and dell... you name it I done it! In the end it was such a simple fix I can't believe. Mate, I owe you big time.... thanks heaps. Hope you win the lottery mate :)

Hello
I have several Dell SX270's all running windows 7. What happened on the BIOS when I changed to 8MB - the BIOS would flip it back to 1MB. The fix? I tested the batteries - on all SX270's the battery was dead! I replaced the dead battery with a new battery - and the BIOS 8MB was saved.
IN short check the internal battery , replace if needed, then change 1MB to 8MB.
Battery + >8MB - and you will have a perfectly running Windows 7 OS.

my experience with batteries is that when they go dead, the clock will play up, but when you leave the computer on for a few hours it somehow charges the battery (or something) enough to maintain system info. I had this situation once (flat battery) where the computer would only boot to the blinking curser. Nothing I did could force it to boot even to the login section and could not get into BIOS. After about an hour of troubleshooting I then pressed the reset button and she booted to a where it gave me the option to press F1 to continue the boot, and it then booted up perfectly when I pressed it, but the clock was wrong. Trial and error taught me that I only had to leave it on for 2 minutes max before it
held a small charge enough to then pressing the reset button to boot it fully.
My opinion only... mikeLast edited by strikey; 24 Mar 2014 at 16:43. Reason: mistake
