The first windows screen?!? Perhaps you mean the POST or BIOS screen?
Black with white letters, that would indicate there is a hardware issue
with your RAM.

I know I have 512MB of RAM installed and always have ever since the machine

RAM. Do I have a problem somewhere in that it only recognises 128MB instead
of 512MB RAM. If I buy another stick of 512MB RAM will this significantly
increase system performance or will it not make a lot of difference (machine
capable of 4 gig RAM).
Thanks
