    When I turn on my computer all i get is a black screen with numbers and letters across the top "113-b10201-101 rv630 gddr4_16mx32 182b"

    It does not continue at any point and I can't go to any of the boot up menus?

    Whats wrong can I fix it?

    That looks like the BIOS version from your video card...the ddr4 gives it away. (type of memory)

    So first thing I'd try is to reseat the video card on the motherboard and see how you get on.
    What make/model is she??

    My bet is that it's a Dell branded motherboard. @Toaster, I agree that "113-B10201-101" is the BIOS version.

    Jumper pins might be needed.

    Also, @Op - did you drop / bang your machine recently?

    thats the bios of his gcard not his motherboard.

    GDDR4 = graphics card memory not normal ram

    is it possible your gcard is not plugged into the psu and as a result its not getting enough power to function properly? or the psu is simply not powerful enough?

    I did say that in my first reply though.
    And as Verres pointed out it's onboard video.

    OP try reseating the ram in your machine.

    Sorry im new to Boards didint know people replied so fast.Thanks for the help.

    I reset the CMOS and the RAM. Its starting fine now but wont load up, it gives me the start up normal and repair options. I tried restoring it to a previous state but both options normal start and restore keep the computer going on a loop restarting.

    Its a Dell XPS420
